Mick Hucknall has risked reopening a war of words with Oasis after claiming the Gallagher brothers have made northerners look like a “cliché”
In an interview for the new edition of Q, out on November 25, the Simply Red star accused Noel Gallagher of making the north “sound stupid”.
His comments come after the dust had settled on a ten-year-old dispute between the Hucknall and Oasis which saw the singer brand Noel “a dickhead” in an interview and reportedly led to a scuffle with Liam.
But in the interview for Q’s regular “A Round With ….” Feature, Hucknall revisits their feud. Asked if he had seen the footage of Noel being attacked on stage in Toronto, Hucknall said: “No. Was that for making the North sound stupid?”
Asked to explain, he added: “I think it’s fair comment. I love that Harry Enfield sketch when [Kathy Burke as Perry] comes back from a weekend in Manchester walking like this [affects cocky Liam Gallagher gait] and goes, ‘F***kin’ sound. Bangin’!’. They’ve made a cliché out of presenting Northerners, especially Mancunians, like that.”

Must be hard knowing you're no longer relevant while Noel and Oasis remain one of the biggest and best bands in the world.
This guy needs to shut his trap and fade away.

I am no Red fanatic but the man does have a point. Both the Gallagher's and Oasis, now so far away from being vital to British let alone international music any longer are very much embarrassing caricatures ... take a look at Elbow ... that's how to behave and what can be achieved in the name of Northern music with style, dignity and intergrity!!!

I find Noel very funny & lucid, but I agree with the ginger one's views on Liam. He's a prize tit.
Oh, and only losers spell loser as "looser"!! :oD

The ginger tw@t will try anything for publicity. What's he doing these days ? At least Oasis are still selling records and sell out concerts!
He should sit back and watch how it's done. Simply never did make it and bless him, he's still trying.
