Oasis Reunion at Iconic Record Shop

Fans of Oasis celebrated the  band's return by storming a   record store that was featured in  their famous song, Shakermaker. In their early years, the Gallagher  brothers began purchasing music from   Sifters Records located in Didsbury, Manchester. The phrase "Mr Sifter sold me songs when I  was just 16 now he stops at traffic lights   but only when they're green" from Noel's  song "Definitely Maybe" alludes to it. After a 15-year break, superfans flocked to  witness a tiny slice of music history as the   well-known brothers announced a massive  run of stadium tour dates for next year,   including four shows each  in Manchester and London. Razz Ashraf, a 29-year-old  sports journalist, described   the reconnection as a "monumental moment"  as he drove down to the store before work. 'I've just been hearing [Oasis  songs] Shakermaker and Columbia,   I am buzzing,' he remarked,  standing outside the store. This morning, I set my alarm for 7:30, and when  I woke up, I was overcome with excitement and   joy. It's a wonderful sensation. After  fifteen years, they have reconciled. "I've arrived at Sifters, the  record store where they first   purchased their records before forming  the band, and it's where it all began." "There's a large mural on the  side, and the owner is the one   who taught them about music." I desired  to experience the vibe from the beginning. "I've visited the store a few times, but I've  never seen this mural—it's really beautiful." Liam pushed Noel to hurry up and finish writing  the song during a tedious cab journey with the   Gallagher brothers, which is rumored to  have inspired the lyric about Sifters. Noel wrote the lyrics as the taxi pulled up  outside the Fog Lane shop, which was owned   and operated by Peter Howard in 1977 and named  after the process of "sifting" through records. Sifters Records' owner, Mr. Howard, claimed  that since the record became well-known,   people have asked him to sign  autographs as "Mr. Sifter." After an altercation backstage  during a tour in 2009,   the Gallaghers—who were known for their turbulent  relationship—decided to end Oasis permanently. Over the following years, a public spat broke out,   and it's thought that the two have  never been in the same room again. However, it's thought that  discussions have started recently,   and they met in private for a  picture to advertise the gigs. Razz went on, "It's beautiful  that two brothers have reunited;   it's not just about the band." It's  great to watch them let go of the past. I was too young to witness them  in person the first time around. When we were children, our parents and  instructors would tell us about them,   but we were too young to truly process it. "As you become older and conduct research,  you come to understand their significance   for Manchester; they helped to establish  the city's global musical reputation." They serve as the model of what a  Mancunian is to many. The way they talk,   the way they dress, the swagger. It's  a historic occasion, and I'm overjoyed. "They must gather their belongings,  depart from Hampstead Heath or their   current residence, and return to Manchester." Next year, the band plans to tour, including  shows in Cardiff, Dublin, Manchester, and London. Razz expressed his desire to attend  as many of the events as possible   and expressed his hope to obtain tickets.  Without a doubt, I will receive a ticket.
