Backing tracks sent in by Bonehead to get Oasis booked for a TV appearance on The Blackpool Roadshow to support an ITV Telethon in 1992. Only one of the two tracks has surfaced, and it took around 20 years:In 1992, just a year after forming the Rain, Oasis had gotten the chance to play on a regional TV show. The performance took place on July 18th, 1992 for an event called The Blackpool Roadshow, who had won a contract to supply programming to the annual ITV telethon. The nature of this broadcast has remained a mystery; however, due to sparse and sometimes misleading information regarding the broadcast (including in Tony McCarroll's book Oasis: The Truth, where he mistakenly refers to this event as "Granada Red Nose Day 1993", despite Red Nose Day being broadcast by the BBC). In 2011, some members of the missing episodes forum confirmed that the date of Oasis' performance was actually 1992, and not 1993 as McCarroll had stated in his book.[1] It was also later confirmed in a fax sent by Paul Arthurs (rhythm guitarist) that was auctioned off alongside the tape they mimed along to during the performance.[2]In the early 2000s the tape was sold by EIL and disappeared...
The Performance
According to Tony McCarroll (from his book Oasis: The Truth), Oasis performed at the Granda Studios using Alvin Stardust's (the host) gear. After a few drinks at the Rover's Return Pub (a replica which had been recreated for the Granada studio tour), they went onstage to a small audience of about 12 Granada staff, some members of the Salvation Army and a local school choir (some of whom were supposedly were frightened by frontman Liam Gallagher's aggressive stare). A short while later, the cameras began to record and the host, Alvin Stardust, came out, introducing Oasis as having
"just flown back to be with us from their tour",
...to which Liam replied:
"We've just come from Burnage dickhead. We ain't on fuckin' tour",
causing the crowd to laugh at the frontman who stared the host offstage and the band began to mime along to a tape of their early song "Take Me". After the performance, the band began to round up their crew and head offstage when they were almost hit by a jeep. This caused the band's leader to become annoyed and shout
"The fuck you think you're doing, dickhead?",
to which the driver (actor Simon Gregson) replied with an obscene gesture. Upon seeing this, Liam ran up to the car, which was stopped at the gate to the studio. The security guard opened the gate at the last minute. All of this, according to McCarroll, was recorded on the footage, as he says that the guard was "watching the replay on his little TV screen".
Apart from two pictures taken by Paul Arthur's sister, no material from this event has surfaced online.

Then in 2021 it was sent in by a listener and broadcast on Absolute Radio. Unfortunately the track is peppered with "Dave Berry Breakfast Show" callouts, but nonetheless it's great to hear one of the tracks from the tape that was sold by EIL back in the day.

Comment: Tony McCarrols version of events regarding the Blackpool Roadshow ITV Telethon gig are total cock! It was my show, I was there and it was myself and my brother that provided that valuable performance slot due to his work with Boneheads brother Martin. Liam did not glare or swear at the audience, and where he gets the brownies and salvation army from is anyones guess! The lads were a pleasure to work with and it was a special time given they became the incredible rock stars they are today. Proud to have worked with them....just to clear this up! Still looking through hundreds of show reels as we have the performance somewhere. It will be a good day when we find the film recording! Shirl
