Oasis are due to be honoured with a lifetime achievement award at the Silver Clef Awards this evening (July 4th).

Now on their seventh album ‘Dig Out Your Soul’, the award will come as a timely reminder of how successful and influential the Manchester lads were in the 90s.

During the Brit Pop era Oasis dominated both the album and single charts with single ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’ selling over 1 million copies.

Pervious winners of the award include Paul Weller and U2.

The awards are held annually to help raise money and awareness for the music therapy charity Nordoff-Robbins.
