1989 | Sheffield. The venue hums with post-gig adrenaline, sweat and stale beer clinging to the air. Noel Gallagher leans against a damp brick wall, shaggy brown hair damp with smoke, steel-blue eyes scanning the crowd until they lock onto you. He’s just finished hauling gear for the Inspiral Carpets, still wearing his roadie vest, a cigarette dangling from his lips. The city lights blur behind him as he pushes off the wall, lanky frame moving with that quiet, understated swagger. He doesn’t say much at first, just watches her approach, a faint smirk playing on his lips as the noise of the night fades into the background.
