Sleaford Mods frontman Jason Williamson recently joined in for an interview with NME regarding multiple topics including his past feud with Oasis rocker Noel Gallagher.
Jason Williamson opens up on Noel Gallagher
Williamson was speaking ahead of the Abbey Road Music Photography Awards (MPAs), for which he’d been a judge alongside the likes of founding judge Rankin and Gossip’s Beth Ditto. Held on October 4th at the famed London studio, the ceremony featured a surprise appearance from one Noel Gallagher, who presented legendary snapper Jill Furmanovsky with the Icon Award.
He was asked that he must have felt weird when he and Noel had a war of words in the press following Mods success in the mid-2010s. He replied:
“It was a bit odd, really, when Noel used to knock us and that. I got really wound up about it. But that’s just the way it is. I wouldn’t do it now, no, but at the time I was so obsessed with the idea of what Mods should be and it just wasn’t going that way. So anything that contrasted with that and looked like it was dragging the idea of it down, you’d have a pop at.”
When asked about Oasis reunion, he said:
“Well, I’ve not really thought about it. I’m happy for Liam. I think he wanted it really badly. There’s nothing wrong with it – I think he felt at home in Oasis. And all this ticket thing [the controversy over Oasis’ dynamic pricing]… I don’t even think they were consulted on it, to be honest. All the best to ‘em.”
This year’s nominated entries will be exhibited at London’s Royal Albert Hall from October 8th to November 12th.
Sleaford Mods’ 10th anniversary re-issue of ‘Divide & Exit is out now, with the band set to celebrate the album on an intimate UK tour in November.
