Did You Know?
Legend has it that Mansun kicked the Fun Loving Criminals out of their dressing room at Soho Live event in 1996 at London's Astoria 2. Noel and Paul Gallagher attended this gig also.

Random Quote
"I do feel uncomfortable being the frontman. Taken out of this context, I feel like fuck all - a waste of space. I mean, if I wasn't in Mansun these girls wouldn't give a flying fig."
