A few weeks ago, a friend of mine asked, “Do you have any positive stories of your interactions with the Gallagher brothers?”. Now, sensing that this might be an ambush because I never need to be asked twice to name-drop, I played it tentatively. “Yeah,” I said. “Both were really good.” My friend might as well have got out a fishing rod for her next response: “I’ve never heard anyone say anything positive about them.”
It didn’t take much but that was it, all reluctance dissipated. I’ve always been one to stick up for the underdog, so how dare she say that about two people who probably don’t remember meeting me who are currently in the midst of a global sold-out stadium tour bringing in millions and millions of pounds in revenue?
