On this day, 6 August 1998, former Oasis guitarist and songwriter Noel Gallagher played the Newport Centre in support of former Jam and Style Council legend Paul Weller.
Weller was about to release his solo greatest hits album Modern Classics which proved a substantial success.
Weller had found himself heavily associated with the emerging Britpop movement that gave rise to such bands as Oasis, Pulp and Blur.
Noel Gallagher (of Oasis) is credited as guest guitarist on the Stanley Road album track "I Walk on Gilded Splinters".
Weller also returned the favour, appearing as a guest guitarist and backing vocalist on Oasis' hit song "Champagne Supernova".
