Oasis permitted closeness, she commented, and that was a great gift to me as a photographer.Weaving sequences together to craft stories and stitch montages, the book brings you right into the room with the musicians. Noels foreword is followed by an introduction by Jill, while three expansive pieces by acclaimed author Simon Spence, publicist and writer Johnny Hopkins, and music columnist and novelist Laura Barton chart Oasiss early, mid and late eras. Jill and Noels reflections, alongside the photos, give the inside track on key moments, revealing the intimate friendship between band and photographer and reminding us of a remarkable era in music history, right to the edge of their 2025 reunion tour.This is a book to treasure long after the final encore.
