"Hi Liam, it's muddy and you're wearing suede shoes!

Liam Gallagher: Oh yeah. Well I'm a big Suede fan. Am I worried about the mud ruining them? Nope, because I've got fucking loads of pairs and I can just get a new pair. I'll put in a big dry cleaning bill for this.

So your surprise set at 11am this morning - a bit of a wake-up call?

Wake up call was 6 o'clock for me mate. Turning up and playing good music is the best wake-up call you can get, though. Playing the best you can, singing the best you can … I thought we smashed it mate. I just like the oddness of us playing at 11 o'clock. When someone asked us to do it we were like "yeah, why not?" I thought it was a bit early to get the rock'n'roll aggro out but it was one of the best gigs I've ever been involved in.

When you headlined back in 2004 with Oasis, Noel ended up apologising for the show.

Yeah, we had a bad one. It was the first time I used them in-ears and it was all a bit freaky. Today was miles better than that. Miles better mate

There's a rumour going around that you will be appearing with the Stones tomorrow night.

I know, I know … funny that innit? Turns out I'm not the only one who's full of shit!"

"Speaking backstage at the festival, Liam - who played Glastonbury three times with his old band Oasis, first in 1994 then as headliners in 1995 and 2004 - exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I had a sh***y gig last time I was here with Oasis, my head was a bit pickled, but we have minds and minds are meant to be changed. I've changed my mind, we've had a good experience today and times before. I take it back."

Thousands of festival goers went to see Beady Eye open at 11:00am and Liam was thrilled with the atmosphere as they played their set - which included tracks off their new album 'BE' such as 'Flick of the Finger' and 'I'm Just Saying' and Oasis songs 'Morning Glory' and 'Rock 'n' Roll' star.

He said: "It's all about the music man, that's the thing about this festival, we just sent the music out into the universe and it was all good. We thought there would be no one there ... it was really good."

Liam's bandmate Gem Archer hopes the band's songs got some of the lazier festival goers out of their tents.

Gem said: "I'd like to think there were a load of people lying in their tents hearing our lovely music wafting over and coming out to see us with their bleary heads.""

--------------

But after Friday's performance, the singer told the BBC "Glastonbury's back in the good books. I just had a bad experience, but now it's cool again.

"It's always been cool, it's just me. I'm full of it."

He added that playing such an early starting time on the Friday morning had been something of a surprise.

"Someone just asked us - do you fancy going on at 11 o'clock, and we thought, why not? We've headlined it, we've done all that. It's time to do something different.

"I absolutely loved it, I mean it. I thought 11 o'clock could be really ropey but I thought we done well, man."

Good vibes.

Yet more liam lies! Glastonbury and at 10 in the morning liam must be desperate for money and exposure.

You been to the Barrowland Welshylad? It owns the ABC. Best venue in the UK. Hands down.
