There He Goes: John Power of Cast on supporting Oasis, and his proud Waterford links 

Cast support Oasis on the forthcoming tour: Liam 'Skin' Tyson, John Power, Keith O'Neill. 

John Power remembers his first meeting with Liam Gallagher. Power was on his way to see a gig by The La's, the band he had just left, when he was approached by a teenage Mancunian.

"This lad came up to me and asked for a smoke, I told him to piss off,” recalls Power. “ A couple of years later Oasis were doing a gig in Liverpool and had appeared on The Word playing Supersonic. Liam came over and said: ‘I asked you for a smoke and you told me to piss off’. We just both burst out laughing."
