Liam and Noel Gallagher join hosts Talia Schlanger/Stephen Kallao

To celebrate the return of Oasis, World Cafe is re-airing a full hour with Noel Gallagher’s High-Flying Birds, an 11-piece ensemble that includes a full brass section and even a scissors player. The band performs live, and Noel reflects on the evolution of his sound since his days writing hits and playing guitar in Oasis, plus how he’s making sure his own kids have a different childhood than Noel and his famously feuding brother Liam had.

Listen to the session here.
