Oasis Ban NME From The Ricoh Arena

Last updated : 08 June 2009 By Covsupport News Service
The New Musical Express have been banned from all of Oasis' summer gigs including those at Coventry's Ricoh Arena.

Noel Gallagher, who was in Coventry last month to see The Specials, has made the decision after comments made by Tom Clake of Coventy band The Enemy were taken out of context.

"If I personally see any weasel from the NME at these gigs... they'll be getting escorted off site... let's face it, they're pretty easy to spot: they don't stray far from hospitality, wear godawful clothes - particularly the shoes - have dreadful hair and that kind of 'mug me' look," Gallagher said.

Oasis are at the Ricoh Arena on July 7th.
