Beady Eye have said they can not imagine performing Oasis songs without Noel Gallagher.

The band, which consists of the Manchester group’s former line-up minus the guitarist, have vowed never to play Oasis songs in their sets.

At all their gigs to date, Beady Eye have only performed covers and songs from their debut album ‘Different Gear, Still Speeding’.

“We've known all along this album is going to be the basis of our live set,” guitarist Andy Bell told the Daily Record.

"It's been like that from day one. It just doesn't seem right to play those songs without Noel there. He wrote most of those classic tunes. That's what Oasis was."

Beady Eye performed the first of two gigs in Manchester last night (March 6).
