Big Brother Recordings recently asked fans to send in their stories about what Oasis and their music mean to them. They heard from thousands of fans all around the world.
The label took a small selection of these fans and filmed their stories. Each intimate portrait concentrates on how specific Oasis songs have affected their lives and are cut together with footage that fans sent them telling their story.
In amongst these short films are Italian football idol Alessandro del Piero, whose 2006 World Cup victory played out to the soundtrack of 'Don't Believe The Truth'. We also visit Stefy 'Supersonic' Bull, an amateur boxer who was inspired to turn pro after hearing 'Supersonic'; a family who came together thanks to hearing 'Don't Look Back In Anger' in a Hong Kong bar; an Italian sculptor and well known Liam look-a-like, and a prisoner who was inspired to do the right thing after hearing 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out'. Each story entertains in its own way and will no doubt strike a chord with all the millions of fans who supported the band through their eighteen year career.
'Oasis: What's Your Story?', an amalgamation of these short films, will get its UK TV premier on the 4Play slot this Saturday 12th June on Channel 4 at 23:40, showing before the acclaimed Oasis tour film, 'Lord Don't Slow Me Down'.
Also, Sunday 13th June marks the UK TV premier of the full Alessandro del Piero short film on BBC2. It will air at 22:15 on Match Of The Day Fifa World Cup highlights. It will then be available to view on the BBC Sports Website afterwards.
The full versions of the remaining stories will air online next week at the Oasis YouTube page.
'Time Flies... 1994-2009' - The Complete Singles Collection - is released on Monday 14th June on Big Brother Recordings.
