Hello all - in response to a few people objecting to the story of Noel giving his address to the mystery girl... They were literally just pen pals, and as she says in the video, entirely platonic. There was no internet or email then, so they just wrote letters. He in fact protected her from getting preyed on by people backstage, as you can hear from her story. The mystery girl emailed me about a few of these comments and said: "People try to keep turning something innocent into something it's not.... so unfortunate. Back in the early 90's we didn't have cell phones or the internet." All they did was stay in touch and write letters as mates, so don't start turning a sweet story into something it's not. Cheers all JH
Can I just say James as an Oasis fan since 94 yes I'm in my 40's now lol 🤣 that interview and the unseen photos are just too good for words absolutely amazing and wow what a story, an amazing lady and all my best to her and a massive thank you !! Brian cannon will be pleased lol 🤣 cheers James merry Christmas mate 👍
This was seriously heartwarming!! I always KNEW Noel is a solid guy w proper values, LOVELY to hear confirmation first hand!! THANK YOU BOTH for sharing!! Happy Christmas all!!
Well done James and thank you mystery lady for reminding me that years ago life was about living in the moment and making short mental memories about growing up. X
Really enjoyed that, thank you James. Theres something lovely about those photos, i feel they show a different side to the lads than we usually see. So pleased that nice lady shared this with us 😊
James, you’ve outdone yourself here lad. Half way through and what a great video. Been listening to oasis since I was 12 years old when my dad got definitely maybe when I think of how my dad used to watch all the Beatles anthologies it’s like oasis are my Beatles , there won’t be bands like them again. All the best for Christmas 🎄 b✌️
Brilliant watch, James. Have a bit of an idea who this might be 🤣 I too have a ticket to one of the gigs at the Rose Bowl in California so it’s weird to think she could be in the same crowd trying to make eye contact with Noel, I’m definitely going to be keeping an eye on Noel now 🤣
Old pictures of Noel are either the best or most alluring and interesting because somehow it's nearly impossible to imagine a younger version...with long hair!
James, this is MEGA work! Thank you, and thank you mystery girl!! The letters explaining the songs are so exciting to see. Also, is that mystery girl at 3:56? If it is, not a great way to disguise your identity!
Mystery Girl from 1992 in LA, my sister and I would LOVE (nothing more) then to sing our hearts with you in Pasadena! We are flying from Michigan to Cali in September.. and as yanks.. there are few of us that have been here since The Carpets that appreciate you, and your story..(because it basically ours from the MidWest😂) If by happenstance I meet another 16 y/o from that time period at that gig.. I hope for nothing more we can re-live that period of being too young to get in places… but in our upper 40s now!!! It’s FINALLY our chance!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you SO much for this James and The Mystery Girl. You guys made my year xxx
Merry Christmas James. I think you’re very good at interviewing these people because you ask the questions we would want to ask. You must put some work in behind the scenes to get these interviews as well!!! Cheers man
I was at the Inspiral Carpets show at the Palace ( Feb). Missed the Whiskey show because I had a final exam that night. Was at the 1995 Filmore show , it was sold out , however a roadie came out of the side door , sussed out the crowd and gave tickets to those who were sorted. Saw OASIS three more times after that. And will be on site for the Rose Bowl show , 2025.
Think it might be. Lots of songs I think are about her. Talk tonight, DLBIA etc. The original sound checks of stand by me with Noel singing used to have the lines “what’s the time with you , sing me something new” like he was talking to someone in a different time zone who also wanted to hear what he’d been working on and was interested in his well being
I mean, it would become a rather sinister story if it was... sally being a 15 year girl that Noel gave tickets to, then hung out with, gave his hotel address too and exchanged information with so they could keep in contact...no wonder NOel never wanted to reveal who sally was🤔
They pics are excellent! Seen them at Irvine beach 1994 and few times in between . Off to Murrayfield in 2025 Sure it was £10 to £220 🙂 Those were the days my friend
I trully believe that the Mistery Girl is Melissa (Sally) ❤️. What makes me say that? This Mystery Girl, told Noel the exact same thing as Sally said back in San Francisco..."You're going to be big"
Something about a 24 year old man giving free tickets to a young girl, who he then learned was 15 years old, but still "hung out with", gave his hotel address info to (including room number, any of us familiar with noels notebook can see thats his handwriting) and exchanged information with so they could keep in contact doesn't sit quite right with me imo. The auld "it was a different time then" again I guess...?
Well, according to the girl herself, it was because in the pre internet age, they kept in touch with each other by letter. They were pen pals. Nothing sinister.
I had the same feeling initially. I mean, the most sensible thing to do out of concern for a girl locked outside a venue would have been to arrange a taxi home for her, or to put someone else on the case. As for giving her his room number - yep, I get that. The name of the hotel would probably have been enough for them to stay in contact. Then again, if he were any less than kind and decent in her behaviour towards her, then a) Why would she have contacted James to tell her story and not a UK tabloid? b) Why would she have kept the photos and momentos? c) Why would she continue to watch Noel live? Noel's actions were ill-advised but I don't think there's anything to outright condemn him over.
@JamesHargreavesGuitar would you be pen pals with a 15 year old when you were a 24 year old working man? After giving her your hotel details and the other stuff. Genuine question
@@spense7070 I agree, and I definitely wasn't implying he had been anything less than kind or decent towards her. We can only go off her own story which never implies anything like that at all I just think the behaviour was a little strange considering the age differences. And I don't want to take a dark turn in this discussion but, if he met her age 15, kept in contact with her for a year and half, in which she then later ends up in a hotel room with him at age 18... could that technically be classed as "grooming"?
Ya know... I realize the alleged Boston/Foxborough, MA Gillette Stadium gig never came to fruition, probably because they wanted to hit our 3 biggest concert markets, but I think they screwed up in not booking more gigs at, in a somewhat ironic twist, these MLS-specific (Major League Soccer) stadiums that for concerts, can accomodate anywhere from 25,000ish to 30,000ish ppl... Our 4th biggest concert market & city? Houston. And wouldn't ya know it, Shell Energy Stadium holds roughly 28,000 ppl for a concert! And Canada's 2nd largest msrket? Montreal! And Molson Memorial Stadium? Roughly 25,000ish fans! So I gotta believe they sell out both of those gigs! Then there's a gig at Arrowhead Stadium... Huge market? No. But home to 2-time defending Super Bowl Champion KC Chiefs, & literally abt as centrally-located as you can get, w/a capacity of roughly 70,000 fans, & lastly, a Washington D.C. show at Nationals Park Stadium w/its roughly 41,000 capacity or the 27,000ish Audi Field Stadium!
@JamesHargreavesGuitar yeah nothing major for a 24 year old man to give a 15 year old free tickets, details of his hotel room and stay in touch with for over a year. What are you talking about 😂

Amazing video. Such a sweet friendship and connection. Noel was a real gentleman to her, he really loves his fans x
This was seriously heartwarming!! I always KNEW Noel is a solid guy w proper values, LOVELY to hear confirmation first hand!! THANK YOU BOTH for sharing!! Happy Christmas all!!
Noel's hair had its own postcode in '91.
Well done James and thank you mystery lady for reminding me that years ago life was about living in the moment and making short mental memories about growing up. X
Great story, thank you. James good to hear Noel was a nice boy before he was famous and I’m sure he still is.☘️❤️🙏
Really enjoyed that, thank you James. Theres something lovely about those photos, i feel they show a different side to the lads than we usually see. So pleased that nice lady shared this with us 😊
Thanks so much! Golden material
What a scoop James..this video will deffo drive you over 100K 🙂
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. It was cool as moo
James good work as always and that lady sounds cool thanks for the early 90.s vibes
This is great James 👍🏻
These photos, especially the one @05:25 are f’n DOPE
Such a great insight. Thanks to you and your guest.
James, you’ve outdone yourself here lad. Half way through and what a great video. Been listening to oasis since I was 12 years old when my dad got definitely maybe when I think of how my dad used to watch all the Beatles anthologies it’s like oasis are my Beatles , there won’t be bands like them again.

Thanks for the Christmas gift🎉
Love these kind of videos James
This was a great interview !!

Another satisfying deep dive from Little James (Hargreaves).
very cool! thanks for sharing Mystery Girl!
Melissa Lim:-)
Great job James!👌
Old pictures of Noel are either the best or most alluring and interesting because somehow it's nearly impossible to imagine a younger version...with long hair!
James, this is MEGA work! Thank you, and thank you mystery girl!!
The letters explaining the songs are so exciting to see.
Also, is that mystery girl at 3:56? If it is, not a great way to disguise your identity!
Great stuff James!! 🤩😎👌
Brilliant, ive been after a photo from the Whisky of Noel with his 78 Les Paul for ages. Great photos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice that. I’ve got some band pics of Oasis at Glastonbury 94 and they are really good shots. Maybe about 4 in total.

love this!!! what a beautiful comment!
Thank you for the video! Great content👍
Absolutely amazing! Well done mate!
merry christmas james 😊
Great story, and possibly one of the most ingenious way to get tickets ever x
Wholesome.
Merry Christmas James. I think you’re very good at interviewing these people because you ask the questions we would want to ask. You must put some work in behind the scenes to get these interviews as well!!! Cheers man

The gift that keeps giving merry Christmas 👍
This is awesome well done sir!
Pure magic James…❤
Going out on a Lim here.. is she part of the Masterplan
Clever you
Nice video mate
Is it sally?
She was young in about 92 when they were talking so i don’t think so
Think it might be. Lots of songs I think are about her. Talk tonight, DLBIA etc. The original sound checks of stand by me with Noel singing used to have the lines “what’s the time with you , sing me something new” like he was talking to someone in a different time zone who also wanted to hear what he’d been working on and was interested in his well being

Nah it doesn't match up. Melissa Lim wasn't at the Whiskey gig, she'd met Noel a few days prior at the San Francisco gig.
It’s probably Elsa, she’s into alka seltzer
Oh how I missed the Oasis videos
Loved it!
Great stuff 👍
Thanks 👍
They pics are excellent!
Seen them at Irvine beach 1994 and few times in between . Off to Murrayfield in 2025
Sure it was £10 to £220 🙂
Those were the days my friend
AMAZING STUFF
Thank you so much for your commitment!!!! It's amazing to get to know situations like this!! 🥹😍
that was pretty cool fella, cheers robot lady voice
I thought the girl was going to turn out to be the one he fled too after the argument at The Whiskey as he wrote Talk Tonight on the plane.
So did I
James, have you any idea who the drummer for the reunion is? I thought you might know. I hope to god it’s Alan White.
I was at that San Diego show
THANK YOU MISS GIRLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Just Wow!
thank you goat
Thought it odd she said there was a demo tape (and showed it) with more obscure songs before the demo tape that got them signed was made?!!
I trully believe that the Mistery Girl is Melissa (Sally) ❤️.
What makes me say that?
This Mystery Girl, told Noel the exact same thing as Sally said back in San Francisco..."You're going to be big"
One thing that really caught my attention was just how good Noel's teeth were in 1991. What happened over the next few years?
don't look plaque in anger
All the fist fights

MEGA!!
Yo, I know, bro can give this woman’s contact to Noel. Give her free tickets to the first concert fr and let her take photographs.
A very nice, feel-good story.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wait, what about the letters with the meanings of the songs on them?!?!?!?
What's happening with the barnet Jimbo?
Ha. Just could not be arsed to gel my hair this morning...
THE ONE AND ONLY JAMES HEART GREAVES
This is Melissa Lim, isn’t it? 😁
❤❤❤
I like the photo of Guiggsy smoking a dooby and photo of Bonehead. Epic Band

Great, now we can wait for Sally 😂
Why’s Noel giving 15 year old girls his address and hotel details?
Liam’s unibrow was on steroids in those days.
Mad fer it
"back in the day there was no social media, _no phone calls_ ..."
was this the 1890s? :)
To make a phone call from uk to us would be outrageously expensive
So Sally couldn’t wait anymore… The masterplan keeps his way. Biblical.
Melisa?
I also tough that
Melissa Lim claimed in an interview she met NG at Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco on Sept. 26, 1994. So I doubt it.
@@AkyovNorthWest agreed, I changed my mind after watching
maybe the girl from talk tonight
Are ya mad for itttttt ahhhhhh lol
It’s not Melissa Lim anyway
Cool but can you tell your girlfriend to stop using a vacuum during the beginning
It's the bloody fan on the computer, something's up with it. Needs cleaning or something. Sounds like an aircraft taking off
BIOS setting 👍@@JamesHargreavesGuitar
Was she 15? That's odd lol
she was 15.......um????
innit bruv
It’ll be freezing this Christmas by Starmer the pensioner harder!
SALLY
Let's av it
Having been a teenage girl myself, this is a bit on the edge with an older guy if I'm honest.
Why can’t an older guy have a platonic friendship with a teenage girl? If there’s no sex involved what’s the problem?
This has started off quite creepy. Not going to lie. 😐
It does. Giving out details to a minor.
@@BarnsleyMatchdayDrinkers does seem quite weird doesnt it? ah well, we don't know alot so I'm not gonna conspire about it.
Well she claims not to have been nonced.
They were pen pals for a year and a half, that's all.
@JamesHargreavesGuitar yeah nothing major for a 24 year old man to give a 15 year old free tickets, details of his hotel room and stay in touch with for over a year.
What are you talking about 😂
