Blur the band were first known at ‘Circus’ then ‘Seymour’. Frontman singer Damon Albarn and the members changed the name of the band to ‘Blur’ at the request of their record company ‘Food’. Blur’s first chart success was with the hit single ‘She’s So High‘ and then ‘There’s No Other Way‘. Initially falling somewhere between the Madchester and Shoegaze sounds Blur performed moderately well in the UK charts. But indie band Blur eventually found their greatest success during the mid 90’s changing their sound to a very ‘British’ style. Big brash horn sections, post punk angular guitars and postmodern humour coupled with lyrics about the every day lives British people. Blur really are where Britpop all started.

With the release of the single ‘Popscene’ Blur pretty much created the sound and music genre known as ‘Britpop’. After Modern Life Is Rubbish Blur delved even further into questioning what was Britishness and created the Brit pop classic album Parklife. Blur tribute band Blurred can be hired for live events across the UK, Europe, USA and beyond.

If you wondered who The Bluetones support  was at Lichfield Guildhall on Saturday 16th September 2023 then you’ve come to the right place. Britpop Reunion frontman Andy Starkey was support for The Bluetones at Guildhall Lichfield. Andy performed a set of Britop and 90’s tracks and chatted to the 180 guests audience about the 90’s and Britpop. He was on stage from 7:45pm and had everyone singing along with him to his 90’s covers. This was just before Mark Morriss and Adam Devlin performed as an acoustic duo version of The Bluetones. The 90’s Britpop band performed songs from their many albums including Expecting to Fly, Return to the Last Chance Saloon and more as well as telling stories about the ups and downs of being in a Britpop band in the 1990’s.

It was an absolutely superb night with The Bluetones being on fine form talking about their history and things that have happened recently too. The Bluetones lead singer Mark  Morriss went to get his hair cut in Lichfield just before the gig at Joells Hair Care which is the oldest hairdressers in the city (and boy are there a lot of hairdressers to choose from in Lichfield). He gave owner Dave complimentary tickets for this event and chatted to him while on stage. Bluetones Guitarist Mark Devlin had dropped his guitar and gear off earlier in the day and went for a walk around the beautiful Staffordshire city. But upon returning the whole of Guildhall was locked up so he couldn’t gain entry. He banged on the doors hoping someone would hear him but the Police showed up as they thought he was trying to break in.

What’s Up 4 Non Blondes Cover

Originally sung by lead singer Linda Perry of 4 Non Blondes, What’s Up was also released as a Eurodance track by DJ Miko featuring rerecorded lead vocals Louise Gard. If you listen carefully to this dance track you’ll find some slight differences in the lyrics sung. 

Fun fact 1: The official YouTube video for this song has amassed over an incredible 1.8 BILLION views. 

Fun Fact 2: The phrase “What’s up” is never mentioned in this nineties song anywhere. We therefore assume most people think this song is actually called “What’s going on?”.

Lyrics to What’s Up by 4 Non Blondes

25 years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope for a destination

I realised quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means

And so I cry sometimes when I’m lying in bed
Just to get it all out, what’s in my head
And I, I am feeling, a little peculiar

And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and get real high and I
Scream from the top of my lungs What’s Going On?

And I said Hey yeah yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah, I said hey, what’s going on?
And I said Hey yeah yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah, I said hey, what’s going on?

And I try, oh my God do I try
I try all the time, in this institution
And I pray, oh my God do I pray,
I pray every single day for revolution

And so I cry sometimes when I’m lying in bed
Just to get it all out, what’s in my head
And I, I am feeling, a little peculiar

And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and get real high and I
Scream from the top of my lungs What’s Going On?

And I said Hey yeah yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah, I said hey, what’s going on?
And I said Hey yeah yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah, I said hey, what’s going on?

Zombie by The Cranberries Cover

Zombie is one of the most iconic tracks from the 90s, originally released by The Cranberries in late 1994 as part of their second studio album, No Need To Argue. Written by lead singer Dolores O’Riordan, the song became an international sensation and remains a timeless classic to this day. Its haunting lyrics and powerful guitar riffs set it apart from many other tracks of the era, showcasing The Cranberries’ unique blend of alternative rock, grunge influences, and Celtic undertones.

The original band, hailing from southern Ireland, rose to global fame thanks to Dolores O’Riordan’s distinctive voice and heartfelt songwriting. Her vocal delivery on Zombie is both fragile and fierce, giving the song an emotional weight that resonated with millions worldwide. The track topped charts in several countries and is widely regarded as one of the most memorable protest songs of the decade.

When Britpop Reunion perform Zombie by The Cranberries Cover, they bring that same intensity and authenticity to the stage. Audiences can expect soaring vocals, atmospheric guitar tones, and a driving rhythm section that truly does justice to this 90s masterpiece. Their attention to detail ensures that fans not only hear the music but feel the same emotions that made the original so powerful.

As a 90s tribute band, Britpop Reunion doesn’t just cover the Britpop giants like Oasis, Blur, Pulp, and Supergrass, they also pay homage to other influential artists of the decade, including The Cranberries, Alanis Morissette and more. This diversity in their setlist makes them the perfect choice for festivals, private parties, and live events where audiences want to relive the magic of the 1990s.

Their live rendition of Zombie by The Cranberries Cover is always a highlight of the show. With its hypnotic guitar riffs and anthemic chorus, the song is a crowd favourite that gets everyone singing along. Fans of the original will appreciate the band’s dedication to recreating the sound and feel of the track while adding their own energy to the performance.

If you’re looking for a band that can transport you back to the era of Doc Martens (Or Adidas Gazelles), baggy jeans, and unforgettable music, Britpop Reunion is the ultimate choice. Experience the nostalgia, sing along to the hits, and don’t miss their stunning performance of Zombie by The Cranberries Cover—a true tribute to one of the greatest songs of the 90s.

Ironic was released in 1996 by Alanis Morissette and it was her third single from her third studio album ‘Jagged Little Pill’ and was the third song written for it that album. Professional 90s cover band Britpop Reunion have put their own spin on this nineties song by making it sound more guitar based Britpop, changing the key, speeding it up slightly and adding a guitar solo and extra chorus at the end. A great song to bounce along to at festivals, parties and especially weddings (When it’s rained). The video to this platinum selling song in the UK features Alanis driving round in a car in winter with different variants of her in the back seat singing along to the track.

Ironic lyrics

Verse 1
An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It’s a black fly in your Chardonnay
It’s a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn’t it ironic, don’t you think

Chorus
It’s like rain on your wedding day
It’s a free ride when you’ve already paid
It’s the good advice that you just didn’t take
Who would’ve thought it figures

Verse 2
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought “Well isn’t this nice”
And isn’t it ironic, don’t you think

Chorus

Bridge
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything’s okay and everything’s going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything’s gone wrong and everything blows up in your face

Verse 3
A traffic jam when you’re already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It’s like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It’s meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn’t it ironic, don’t you think
A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think

Chorus

30 years of Wonderwall by Oasis

On 30th October 2025 Wonderwall by Oasis will celebrate its 30th anniversary of release. Here are Britpop Reunion frontman Andy Starkeys thoughts on the most iconic (And some would say most well known) track ever released by a Manchester band. This contains excerpts of unused material from a 40 minute interview with GQ Magazine. To hire a britpop tribute band contact Andy with info on your date and venue. 

30 years of Wonderwall by Oasis
30 years of Wonderwall by Oasis

30 years of Wonderwall by Oasis

When Wonderwall was first released in October 1995, it immediately felt like it was everywhere. The radio played it constantly, it was on TV, in shops—you couldn’t escape it. By the time it officially came out, I’d already heard it dozens of times. I was 19 then, right in the middle of the Britpop explosion, and it felt like the soundtrack to everyday life.

Back then, I was in an originals indie band. At that time, covers were considered taboo—totally uncool. If you were serious about being in a band, you had to write and perform your own material. Playing somebody else’s hit was almost like admitting defeat. We did once or twice sneak in Live Forever, but we’d never play Wonderwall. It was too obvious, too mainstream for our “serious” indie sensibilities.

A Wonderwall Weekend Warrior

Fast forward to today, and things couldn’t be more different. I perform Wonderwall every single weekend at weddings, festivals, and corporate events. It has become one of those songs that people not only expect but demand. If you’re in a Britpop tribute band, you simply cannot avoid playing it. It’s impossible to do a set without it, because audiences won’t let you.

What makes Oasis remarkable is that their singles weren’t just about the A-side. The B-sides were just as good, sometimes even better. The Wonderwall single included Round Our Way, The Swamp Song, and The Masterplan—tracks that many fans still consider classics. I always say Oasis’ singles were like mini-EPs. You bought every release not just for the hit song but for the hidden gems tucked alongside it. That culture of collecting—buying every format, every CD, every cassette—was something bands like Oasis, Blur, and Suede thrived on.

Is Wonderwall cliché or cheesy?

Some people dismiss Wonderwall as a cliché, and I understand why. It has been overplayed. You hear it on the radio, in supermarkets, buskers play it in every town square. It’s the “go-to” song to want to learn for amateur guitarists (Although it certainly isn’t an “Easy 3 chords song”. But for me, it’s beyond cliché—it’s iconic. Songs that reach that level of saturation don’t just fade away; they become cultural landmarks. In the UK, Wonderwall sits alongside tracks like The Beatles ‘Hey Jude’ or The Kinks ‘Sunny Afternoon’. It’s part of the national fabric.

Personally, I joke that Noel Gallagher pays my mortgage, because my career has been built, in part, on songs like Wonderwall. I’ve made a living performing Oasis music. That’s how deeply it resonates with audiences. And honestly, I don’t get tired of playing it. For me, music is a profession, not just a hobby. As long as people light up when they hear those opening guitar chords, I’ll happily play it.

The reaction from crowds is always the same—pure joy. It reminds me of what happened with Mr. Brightside by The Killers, which came out eight years after Wonderwall. The effect is identical. If you don’t play it, someone will shout at you until you do. Both songs are woven into British nightlife and culture in such a way that they’ve become compulsory. You can try to leave them off the setlist, but the audience will never let you.

Back to 1995

When I think back to 1995, it was such an incredible time for music. I remember walking into Woolworths and buying What’s the Story Morning Glory on cassette? I’d play it non-stop in my battered Fiat Panda as I drove around town. Alongside Oasis, it was Blur’s Parklife and The Prodigy’s Music for the Jilted Generation. That mix of Britpop, indie, and dance gave the decade its identity. To me, it felt like music was the most exciting thing in the world. Who would have thought that over three decades later I would be celebrating 30 years of Wonderwall by Oasis by doing an interview like this?

Oasis in particular were life-changing. They were one of the reasons I became a musician. Even now, decades later, I work full-time as a professional performer. That’s not something I imagined back in the nineties, when I was still dreaming of breaking through with my own material. Eventually, I moved into the tribute and cover scene, and I’ve never looked back. It provides a living, and it keeps me connected to the music I love.

 

The future of young talent still wanting to be Liam & Noel.

You’d be surprised how many young people still feel the same way about Oasis. The bands I help mentor—kids between 16 and 21—are obsessed with them. They’ll always include a couple of Oasis songs in their sets. They want to be Liam. They want to be Noel. It shows just how timeless this music is. The culture of “being in a band” is coming back too, after years of solo artists dominating the charts. Oasis, in many ways, made it cool to pick up a guitar again, and I think they’re still inspiring teenagers nearly thirty years later.

Some of my best memories as a performer are tied to Wonderwall. I’ve played it at massive festivals, where tens of thousands of people sang every word louder than we could play it. In those moments, it stops being Oasis’ song—it belongs to the crowd. I’ve also played it at weddings and made it the bride & grooms own personal anthem. It works every time. Even little kids, sometimes only five or six years old, on their dads shoulders, singing along to it word for word. That’s the legacy of Wonderwall—it has been passed down through generations.

Of course, some musicians roll their eyes at it. They call it cheesy, predictable. I don’t see it that way. For me, it’s never about my ego—it’s about the audience. If I only played what I wanted, I’d be doing deep cut Smiths or Depeche Mode tracks to three people in a pub. The power of Wonderwall is that it brings everyone together. You can play it to students at a university gig or to fifty-year-olds at a birthday, and the reaction is the same. The song just works.

 

The intro strummed chords.

The intro alone is enough. The strumming pattern, the chord progression—within seconds, everyone knows what’s coming. That’s the mark of a true classic. Like Lennon’s Imagine or McCartney’s Hey Jude, you don’t need more than a few notes before the entire room lights up.

I’ve even played with a Japanese Oasis tribute band called Otasis. Earlier this year, I performed with them in Tokyo, and it was surreal. British music being celebrated in Japan, with Japanese fans singing English 90s songs as passionately as any crowd in Manchester—it shows just how global Oasis’ impact really is.

Culturally, their influence is everywhere. Walk into almost any pub in Britain, and you’ll find a “Liam” somewhere—bucket hat, parka, sunglasses on……indoors. Oasis aren’t just a band; they’re a style, a mindset, an attitude. That hasn’t faded, even three decades later.

That’s why, for me, Wonderwall is more than just a song I play every week, week in, week out. It’s part of the reason I became a musician. It’s part of why I’m still a musician today. And it’s part of why whole new generations are picking up guitars again. Some call it cheesy. Some call it overplayed. I call it a classic that will never die.


Wonderwall was released on the 30th October 2025 by Alan McGee’s Creation Records. It was written by Noel Gallagher and produced by Owen Morris. It was shortly followed up by Don’t Look Back In Anger.
