Liam Gallagher has said Tony Walsh’s This is the Place is the best thing to come out of any Mancunian’s mouth ever.
Originally penned as a commission for the charity Forever Manchester, a charity that funds community activity in the city, Walsh recited a version of it in front of a crowd of thousands at the vigil to remember victims of the Manchester terror attack.
Oasis front man Gallagher said: “I want it placed on record that it’s the best thing I’ve ever heard to come out of any Mancunian’s mouth ever.
“It was fucking mega. It touched me. So good fucking on him”.
Here’s the poem in full, which was originally posted on the New Statesman.
Since you are here
Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.
Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
