"I worked with Oasis intensively from 1995 to 1997, at the height of their popularity. I was experienced in the rock business, and they were just beginning. It was natural that I should feel protective of them. All the media attention and the phenomenal speed of their rise to super-stardom was extremely stressful. It was hard to take it all in.'"
"It began with a concert at Cambridge Corn Exchange in 1994. I had a feeling the gig was going to be special before I even laid eyes on the band. A queue of excited people, many of them super-cool teenage girls, snaked down Wheeler Street and right around the block. It looked like a picture I'd once seen of Beatles fans queueing for the Cavern Club in Liverpool."
"Noel Gallagher: All the great photographs are silent, but they speak to you, right? Jill's photographs have that quality; they just say something to you. I guess they're shot with love for the art itself, and with respect for the artist, and all that comes through in the photos' Noel: People see it as mine and Liam's band. It's actually Bonehead's band because he invitied Liam to join and Liam invited me."
Jill Furmanovsky worked with Oasis intensively from 1995 to 1997 and photographed them from their early gigs through rapid ascent to superstardom. She felt protective toward the band amid overwhelming media attention and stress. The relationship began at a 1994 Cambridge Corn Exchange concert marked by exuberant teenage fans and Beatles-like queues. Furmanovsky documented backstage camaraderie and stage presence during tours, including San Francisco, noting close dynamics among Noel, Liam, Guigsy, Bonehead and Tony McCarroll. Noel valued her images as silent but expressive, reflecting love for the art and respect for the artists. A book of her photographs was published by Thames and Hudson.
