This is the only article I found that refers to Sara's interview in 2002 in google groups.

Sara and Noel: She Was Love

by Alison Boshoff

Sara Macdonald had dressed with particular care that September day two years ago. Her pale blonde hair was smoothed with serum, her lips painted with her favourite Kiehl's gloss, her tight Moto jeans topped with a designer T-shirt.

She completed her look with Gucci sunglasses - and her newest and most cherished accessory, a rock star on her arm.

Noel Gallagher, the driving force behind one of Britain's most talented and notorious bands, Oasis, probably didn't even notice that his new girlfriend had taken longer than usual to get ready or, if he did, pause to consider why.

But news of their romance had just broken in a gossip column and Sara expected to be blinded by the flashes of dozens of paparazzi as they emerged from the house.

Sadly for her, no one was there. And as she and Noel repeated the exercise day after day, Sara felt an unmistakable pang of disappointment.

She had to wait two weeks until he finally agreed to come with her to an awards ceremony to get the splash of publicity which she had expected.

For PR girl Sara, 31, the daughter of a well-to-do middle- class Edinburgh family of schoolteachers who was educated at the city's fee-paying Mary Erskine school, becoming a rock chick was the fulfilment of a girlish fantasy.

She loved the kudos of being famous, albeit by proxy, as 'Noel's new girl'. When he penned a ballad, She Is Love, in her honour, she was ecstatic.

But now her dream romance is over and Sara is alone, having been unceremoniously dumped a fortnight ago. At her desk in London last week, she refused to comment about the end of their relationship.

But we can reveal today that it has been an ugly parting of the ways.

Gallagher, always prone to fits of temper, was so angry and so determined to cut her out of his life when they split that he has already changed the locks of the pretty ?850,000 London mews house they decorated together.

She has told him tearfully that she 'can't see the point of living' without him. There have been long and emotional telephone calls in which she has appealed to him to give their romance another try. It was, after all, only a few weeks ago that he publicly declared how much he loved her.

But now the Oasis star is having none of it. He is turning a deaf ear to her melodramatic hints and is now entirely focused on the band's current tour of America.

'Noel is unrelenting,' said one of his friends. 'He's told her it's over and that's that. When he decides something he is incredibly stubborn, and he's so angry with Sara. No one around him even dares mention her name.'

His decision to end the relationship came after Sara gave an interview suggesting that Noel was keener to marry than she was. He also objected to her claims that she was a party animal and he a stay-at-home bore.

It was all far too reminiscent of the embarrassments his former wife Meg Mathews used to heap on his head. For Sara, a warm, intelligent woman, the interview was a terrible mistake.

Two years earlier it had all been very different when she and Noel met in Ibiza. At the time, he was still married to Meg, although there were serious problems with the relationship.

Sara was working for a London PR firm, Capitalize, one of whose clients was sponsoring some events at the island's nightclub Manumission, where DJ Fatboy Slim (aka Norman Cook) was playing.

Noel, who has a luxury home on the island, had spotted Sara backstage and demanded to be introduced to this slim and striking blonde. There was an instant mutual attraction.

'He came to hang out with us and we got on really well,' Sara said. She made sure he had her phone number and hoped he would call.

Noel and Meg returned to England and a few weeks later attended the premiere of the Guy Ritchie film Snatch. That was their last public appearance together and shortly afterwards they announced they had split up.

Noel, who had made a determined effort to clean up his lifestyle and wean himself off drink and drugs, had been tiring of Meg's rabid partying for a long time. He finally decided it wasn't worth patching up the relationship any more.

Noel left his wife soon after - meeting Sara may well have been a factor -and only a week later he and his new girl were spotted hugging and kissing at the Reading pop festival. The romance developed steadily and by the late autumn she was confident enough to talk publicly about it.

'Noel has had a hard year and it's been difficult for him, but we're getting on very well and he seems happier,' she said. 'He's a lovely man.

It's weird to think I'm going out with Noel Gallagher, but he's just a normal guy to me.'

This was not strictly true. While Sara was very careful to say she didn't care about Noel's status, she was in fact every bit as aware of it as Meg - another middle- class blonde PR girl - had been.

A publicist at a rival PR agency, who knows Sara, said: 'Sara is a pretty girl who likes to hang out with music people.

'Don't believe it when she tells you she's not interested in fame. She's like dozens of other girls who work in music PR. My view is that some of them would chew off their arm for a fling with the talent.'

At first, the romance was plain sailing. Sara was lively and fun and Noel found her effervescence captivating.

Within six months they had moved into a four-bedroom mews cottage in London's Marylebone. Where Meg had favoured marble and gold bathrooms, Sara persuaded Noel that something more low key in black and white would be nicer.

They stayed in together, played Trivial Pursuit, watched Popstars on television and drank good wine.

When Sara left her job to supervise renovations at the new house, it was an indication of the priority the romance was assuming in her life. Noel's main input, meanwhile, was to order a ?25,000 sound system with speakers in every room and the garden.

He said he was so happy that he was able to write songs more readily,including one, She Is Love, about his new woman

'She is from Scotland and she is very, very beautiful and very, very funny. That's about as much as I know,' he said at the time.

But while he was apparently content to take things as they came, enjoying her companionship and affection without thinking too far ahead, Sara seemed to see their moving in together as a prelude to marriage. Indeed, she was already visualising her big day.

'I'm quite sure Noel doesn't want to rush into anything after he's been so badly stung,' she said, but added: 'I love him so much and I would love to be the new Mrs Gallagher. It would be great if our wedding took place somewhere in Scotland.'

It was certainly a little premature, but it accurately reflected Sara's confidence in her future. The problem was that Noel, after marriage to Meg, was by then intensely wary of anyone likely to be seduced by the shallow glamour of the showbusiness set.

Looking today at the ruins of Noel's latest relationship, it seems likely it was Sara's chosen career and the emergence of behaviour mirroring that of Meg Mathews that brought it to an end. Noel has a deep suspicion of the showbusiness world - which is partly due to his downbeat temperament and partly to his experiences with Meg - and he hates meeting other famous people.

'There's too many a***holes to deal with,' he complains. 'I find it difficult dealing with other famous people to be honest because I don't really know what to say to them.'

His idea of fun is a weekend in Blackpool, taking his little girl Anais -his two-year-old daughter by Meg - on the funfair rides.

Sara, however, would drag him to celebrity spots such as the Ivy, where she was able to get a table thanks to her famous boyfriend. On one occasion Noel was observed, with a face like thunder, scraping the sauce off his steak.

A friend of Noel's observed: 'Fundamentally, he's a sexist, traditional, Northern male. Sara's a PR girl and a bit of a label luvvie about clothes. She's no Meg, but she is a girlabout-town.'

After her break to oversee the revamp of their new home, Sara resumed the showbiz PR life, albeit scaled down to three days a week with a new company outfit, Sainted - which did not please Noel. But then she made her fatal error.

Earlier this summer, London's Evening Standard asked Sara to agree to her first interview. Noel was not keen - Meg had embarrassed him with a column in a Sunday broadsheet and always went against his advice to do fashion shoots and interviews, which he hated.

He told Sara she shouldn't - but, just like Meg, she went ahead and did it anyway.

When the results were published, Noel 'went mad'. In the interview, Sara described herself as a 'dizzy bitch' with commitment issues, in contrast to Noel who owned houses and masses of possessions. She added: 'They say I'm trying to get Noel down the aisle, but I'm far too childish to think about marriage and babies just yet.'

It was exactly the kind of shallow posturing which Meg had always indulged in - in fact, it could have been Meg speaking. And as he read on Noel got angrier and angrier.

Sara claimed not to have owned an Oasis album before she met him, and said she didn't even know he'd had No 1 hits as she preferred more hip dance music herself. 'Noel hated that she was promoting herself as hip and cool on the back of making him and his music look rubbish,' the friend said.

She made him look yet more un-hip when she said: 'Noel will kill me for saying this, but my life's actually become more sedate since I met him. I don't need to go clubbing any more.'

A friend of Noel's said: 'He simply went ballistic. He just rang her up and said: "Right, you can **** off, then." It was the way she made him look like some pathetic wimp while she was the free spirit.

'She is completely devastated, but you know, she just shouldn't have done it. It was too much like Meg for comfort and he's not going down that road again. She has paid the price for coming after Meg - Noel reacted really strongly because it reminded him of her.'

It is an irony not lost on Sara that he has now cut her out just as ruthlessly as he cut out Meg. Her song, She Is Love, will no longer feature in his live sets. Like Wonderwall, his love song to Meg, he has vowed to never perform it again.

Interviewer: Who do you admire most?

Noel: Me mam, 'cause she brought me up. Me younger brother, 'cause he's as daft as a brush and makes me laugh. Paul Weller, 'cause he's still got his integrity after all these years.

"Liam IS Oasis" Noel Gallagher 2000

This is an intriguing interview, despite the interviewer being a bit pushy and overly critical. Noel starts off rather sombre and in low spirits, but surprise, surprise perks up when the topic comes round to Liam.

It's worth watching the whole video. Reading the transcript, Noel might come off as somewhat flippant but his tone is gentle throughout. You will want to hear him call Liam 'William'. Softly. Twice. And watch him smile afterwards.

17:40

Int: Did Liam make you stay with the band?

Noel: Only in the sense that he would never let me leave the band anyway because he would make me rejoin the band because he knows its easier for me to be in the band than have him on the phone at me twenty-four hours a day going, “Come on, let’s go back in the studio, write some songs, come on, let’s go on tour.” He just nags at you all the time. Even during that year off, after about six weeks he was on the phone saying, “Right, what’s going on,” and I’m saying, “Nothings going on,” "Well have you written any songs,” “No I don’t intend to write any songs for another 8 or 9 months.” He’s just like a hyper active little kid isn’t he. But he would annoy me back into the band if I ever left - just to shut him up.

When asked if he thought having Lennon had changed Liam:

Noel: [...]I’ve noticed a little tiny change but nothing major really…because he would love you, or the people at home out there in TV land to believe he’s the rock and roll monster. And he lives up to that. When he turns the key - or when he turns the handle to leave the house and go out into the public domain - he then becomes Liam Gallagher. When he’s at home I know for a fact he’s just…William. He’s just William.

Int: Is Liam still mad fer it

Noel: Oh yeah totally. If I have any length of time off I’ve got other things I could be doing. I could be remixing for people, I could be writing. All that Liam does is sing in the band. And when I say all I don’t mean to demean him in any way whatsoever but he’s not a writer. I can go out - I went on tour with Paul Weller for a few months, just like opening up for him and stuff and I can go play guitar on other people’s records - Liam doesn’t have that so all he’s got is to be in the band. That’s what justifies his existence. If I take six months off, to him, that’s a six month prison sentence. He’s got to stay in for six months.

Int: […] It’s not that bad is it, like he’s nothing without the band?

Noel: No I’m not saying that. I'm not saying he's nothing. He’s still a geezer and all that but what I’m saying is like I’ve got other things to do. Liam doesn’t like anybody else to go sing on anyone else’s album - he hates everyone. He even hates me. He’s not into producing or anything so… he is Oasis, do you know what I mean? So if I say I’m going off for a year, what’s he gonna do? He’ll just go down the pub for a year.

Noel, just a simple and traditional guy.

Recorded during his promo tour for Council Skies in Italy. Radiofreccia, April 2023

Questions are:

Which food or drink do you need with you on tour?

Do you listen to an album or artist in particular when you're on tour?

While on tour, do you bring with you books or something else to read?

What do you need to have fun while on tour?

What's the strangest thing you have asked for in the dressing room rider?

Which service do you request when you're in a hotel?

Interviewer: How are you and Noel getting on?

Liam: “Smashing. Still have the odd fight... actually I want to smack him now! Right in the kipper! No, great. Everything's fine. We'll never split up, we're brothers. And if Oasis ends, then it'll end on a high. Who knows? We might still be together in 50 years, still playing music, which'll be nice."

- Liam Gallagher for NME July 12th 1997

“If you spoke to anybody who came around my house in the ’90s, it would always end up with There and Then, the video where they walk out and Noel’s got the Union Jack guitar. That went on after dinner and would bore everyone to death. I was in my twenties, but I was like a 14-year-old fan. It was kind of embarrassing.” - Ewan McGregor

What a cracking 2006 interview this is. Never seen an interviewer steamroller Noel before. lol

Noel's warm fuzzy about Liam 8:39

Noel - Yes, of course it's all tongue-in-cheek. Liam knows that I love him. I know that he doesn't like me. There ends the argument.

The Liam interrogation starts at 6:42.

Noel goes in for his usual aloof vibe and contradictory soundbites and this interviewer ain't having it. lol He has no qualms catching Noel out and exposing his contradictions. Well done that man! A rare case of Noel meeting his match.

5:23 for the interviewer catching Noel on going from 'it's all about the music' to it's all about the lifestyle. Hilarious.
