Jo Whiley felt ‘tingles' when Oasis played in her studio for first time

Jo Whiley attends The Music Industry Trust Awards 2024 (Image: Getty Images ) DJ Jo Whiley has said she will "never forget" having a then-unknown Oasis on her radio show after she broadcast the band for the very first time. Whiley and co-presenter Steve Lamacq played Columbia by Oasis on their Radio 1 Evening Session in 1993 – the first time the band was ever played on the radio. She said she felt "tingles" when the group, fronted by brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, then went on to play a live session in the studio. Ahead of their reunion tour, which kicks of on Friday, Whiley reminisced about the early days of the Manchester-based band with fellow DJ Sara Cox, who was standing in for Scott Mills on his Radio 2 breakfast show. Whiley said: "I remember our producers said (then-Oasis manager) Alan McGee has got this record. It's really good. "He says this band are amazing, you've got to play it." Article continues below Whiley said the song was Columbia, adding: "Then they came in and did a session. It was so beautiful, you can just see the star quality. "You could feel the charisma and the tension between the brothers. "They did Live Forever, and it was unbelievable. "I'm going to play that on my show tonight because we're doing this big Oasis show this evening. "I just remember sitting there, watching them, listening to Liam singing Live Forever, and just thinking tingles, proper tingles, I'll never forget it." Oasis, who split in 2009 after a backstage brawl between the Gallagher brothers at a festival, confirmed their long-awaited reunion in August 2024. Cox joked about how it was down to Whiley that Oasis have reformed after she suggested to Liam when he came on her radio show in more recent years that he call Noel. "It's basically down to you," Cox said. Whiley said her Radio 2 show on Thursday evening will be an Oasis special, "just to get people excited about the gigs". Article continues below She asked listeners to get in touch and share their memories of the band, while she will also be playing archive clips. "It's important because they mean so much to so many people. People have grown up with them," she added. The long-awaited Oasis Live '25 tour kicks off in Cardiff on Friday before a run of shows in London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Dublin.

'Japan's Baba Vanga's' terrifying prediction comes true after 'disaster' warning
Ryo Tatsuki, who has earned a reputation as 'Japan's Baba Vanga', has apparently seen one of her most chilling predictions come true today, while tourists have been left too spooked to book flights A psychic hailed as 'Japan's Baba Vanga' has seen another of her predictions come true - and believers have been left scared enough to change their travel plans. Manga comic book artist Ryo Tatsuki has drawn comparisons with the famed Bulgarian mystic on account of her eerily prescient premonitions, detailed in her 1999 book, The Future as I Saw. This creepy tome details a number of Ryo's dreams, some of which have purportedly come to pass. It garnered particular interest after the devastating 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, which Ryo appeared to anticipate, with her prior warning of a major natural disaster set to unfold in March 2011. Naturally spooked, followers of Ryo's work have also been fearful of another date which is fast approaching - July 5, 2025. And there are those who believe her chilling vision has already come true, partly at least. Foretelling a calamitous disaster in an updated version of her book, published four years ago, Ryo wrote: "The ocean floor between Japan and the Philippines will crack. Huge waves will rise in all directions. Tsunamis will devastate the Pacific Rim countries. "A tsunami three times higher than that of the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 2011 will strike the southwest of the country." It has been noted that part of Ryo's prediction has already come true, two days early, with a 5.5-magnitude earthquake rocking Japan today. As reported by the AFP News Agency, authorities have urged 89 residents of the small southern island of Akuseki to evacuate "to a school playground" after a quake powerful enough to make it "difficult to remain standing". Thankfully, Japan's Meteorological Agency has advised that a tsunami warning has not been put in place. Ayataka Ebita, director of the earthquake and tsunami observation division of the agency, told reporters: 'In areas where the tremors were strong, there is an increased risk of collapsed houses and landslides. Please be aware of earthquakes of similar magnitude for the foreseeable future." Although disruptive, today's incident is nowhere near in the same league as the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, which resulted in thousands of deaths and widespread destruction. Whether it comes to pass or not, Ryo's premonition has had real-world knock-on effects for the tourism sector. CN Yuen, managing director of Hong Kong-based travel agency WWPKG, informed CNN that bookings to Japan had halved over the Easter holidays, with further dips expected over the coming two months. It's believed anxious travellers, all too aware of Ryo's frightening reputation for accuracy, may have been spooked by this particular prediction and thought twice about any trips to Japan. Meanwhile, Eric Zhu, Bloomberg Intelligence's analyst for aviation and defence, revealed: "The quake speculations are definitely having a negative impact on Japan tourism, and it will slow the boom temporarily. Travellers are taking a risk-averse approach given the plethora of other short-haul options in the region.' With this in mind, however, Ryo has previously cautioned people to remember that she is "not a prophet", reminding them to put their faith in experts, not just dreams.
