Exploring Paul Gallagher’s Relationship with Oasis

Paul Gallagher is the eldest sibling, being a year older than Noel Gallagher and seven years older than Liam Gallagher. Despite being related to these famous musicians, Paul has never been an active participant in the band Oasis or their musical endeavors.

According to BBC reports, the three Gallagher brothers shared their childhood in Burnage, a suburb of Manchester. Paul has carved out a career for himself as a photographer and a DJ, showcasing his artistic talents beyond music.

In 1996, he authored the book Brothers: From Childhood to Oasis, The Real Story, which provides an intimate collection of anecdotes about his upbringing alongside Noel and Liam.

In one poignant chapter, Paul reflects on his relationship with Noel, stating, “It’s hard for me to talk about my brother Noel. Although I can’t recollect a time when he wasn’t around, he doesn’t encourage closeness. You certainly wouldn’t say he was loud; in fact, he’s probably shyer than either myself or Liam until he gets to know somebody.”
