How does Noel Gallagher escape paparazzi? Hides behind an Irish band’s CD of course…

Crouching tiger, hidden Gallagher.

Crouching tiger, hidden Gallagher.

Ah, Noel Gallagher. One of my favourite men to ever exist.

Not solely because he’s one-half of the greatest band to come out of Manchester but more to do with the combined fact he’s as mad as a box of frogs and uses the most eloquent put-downs that make Simon Cowell look like a pussy cat.

He’s not shy on hiding his feeling about paparazzi, or anything at all really.

And, although, Liam may be known for swearing and losing his cool with photographers, Noel has a completely different approach of escaping the camera flashes.

Last Thursday, NG attend a charity gig in London, which boasted some of our most talented exports on its bill.

Irish band Cronin played in the Ronnie Scott’s jazz club in Soho supported by none other than The Pogue’s Shane MacGowan, with all proceeds raised going to Hoping Foundation, a charity that raises money for Palestinian orphans.

As Gallagher exited the venue he used a fairly peculiar method in a bid to ‘hide’.

Much to the delight of the band, NG hid behind a Cronin CD.

 

Yes,

According to NME, Van Morrison, Jools Holland and the Pretenders’ Chrissie Hyde also played the charity gig.

Cronin were just one of the bands responsible for this Irish Euros 2016 gem below:

We’re sure Cronin are delighted with the publicity from Gallagher, unintended or not.
