Oasis fans gather at music shop where Gallaghers bought records from as kids

SWNS

Oasis fans today (Tues) gathered outside the record shop where the Gallagher brothers brought music from as youngsters after the ban's reunion was confirmed.  Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher today (Tues) unveiled a mammoth run of stadium tour dates next year after a 15 year hiatus.  And fans in their home city of Manchester couldn't contain their excitement as they turned up at Sifters Records, where the brothers bought their albums as kids.  The shop, immortalised in their single 'Shakermaker', was closed this morning but fans flocked to the store, also home to a mural of the brothers after news broke.  Sports writer Razz Ashraf, 29, drove down to the store before work and said the reunion was a 'monumental moment'.

00:00My name's Raz from Manchester, I live in Altrincham. I came here before works because this is Mr

00:13Sifter's, the owner of the record shop, it's called Mr Sifter and it's where Noel and Liam

00:19used to buy their first ever record, so it's pretty much what educated them both on music

00:25and I came here because they're reuniting after what, 15 years of being broken apart.

00:31So before work, I was like, I'm going to come here, I want to feel the energy of where it

00:37all started.

00:38So you've got Mr Sifter's doing his works on the record shop next door, it's his 15th

00:46anniversary.

00:47I never got a chance to see them both together, I never thought it was going to happen, but

00:54I did have hope, because they were brothers, they'd iron it out, and you know what, they

00:59did, because family's family at the end of the day man, you don't hold grudges.

01:04I'm over the moon, I'm over the moon, I've lost the word really, because I've driven

01:08here so quick for work and yeah, I might get bollocks off my boss, but well worth it, because

01:15look at us, we're back together and we're back live!
