The Britpop legend of Oasis fame, now a huge solo success as Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, will take off around the country for a three-week tour on February 13 with the symphonic choir in tow, complete with their conductor and Muswell Hill resident David Temple.

The news is a new high for the choir, who feature on Noel’s chart-topping debut album released last October.

Mr Temple said: “Noel Gallagher is up there in the top five UK songwriters of all time. We are proud for the choir and me to be featured on his hugely successful debut solo album - and then to be asked to take part in the arena tour is a treat beyond words.

“And all of this comes after what will be the most thrilling world première in the choir’s history - 17 Days by James McCarthy. The variety of music performed by Crouch End Festival Chorus is unparalleled in the world of choral music.”

The choir have already shared a stage with Noel - for two Teenage Cancer Trust concerts at the Royal Albert Hall last year, and with Oasis at 2008’s BBC Electric Proms.

They will perform James McCarthy’s new work, which chronicles the emotional turmoil of those involved in the San José copper mine collapse in Chile in 2010, at the Barbican on February 5, alongside Philip Glass’ Three Songs and The Grid from the film Koyaanisqatsi.
