I Was There: Oasis
Listen now
Description
We're looking back at March 1993 and the beginnings of one of the great modern music stories. That Spring, Liverpool band 'The Real People' were asked by an up-and-coming band from Manchester to put together a professional demo tape that they could send round to record labels. The tape - called 'Live Demonstration' - was recorded mostly at Liverpool's Porter Street studios and copies have been said to have been auctioned for more than £6,000. Why? Because it was Oasis. And the track 'Columbia' became the first Oasis song ever played on Radio 1... Adrian is joined by Paul Arthurs, AKA 'Bonehead', Chris & Tony Griffiths from Liverpool band 'The Real People', Debbie Ellis who back in 1993 shared a practice room with Oasis, and broadcaster Terry Christian.
