: Liam and his band find their own oasis in Royal Mile pub : http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/edinburgh/Liam-and-his-band-find.5378564.jp : Date: 18 June 2009 : By Adam Morris : IT IS not the first image that springs to mind when you mention Liam Gallagher : and Whiski. : But when the Oasis frontman and his band called into a Royal Mile bar they : wanted to head into the kitchen to see how a haggis is cooked. : The world-famous band spent seven hours eating and drinking in Whiski. : And they were so impressed with thebanter and service from staff they left a : gift that will live forever in their minds. ^^^^^^^^^^^^ : The band, who called into the bar on Tuesday, handed over four VIP tickets : for last night's sell-out Murrayfield gig as a thank-you for the afternoon : they had enjoyed. : Spearheaded by singer Liam, the band also asked to be shown the kitchen area : so they could see a haggis being cooked for the first time. : Owner Gary Still said: "They came in at about three o'clock but we didn't : even realise it was them until about five, when one of the workers recognised : them. : "They just seemed like ordinary guys in having a few drinks. : "They were all extremely pleasant, and dealt with the autograph hunters and : people wanting photographs very well. We've had bands in before, but these : guys were the most famous yet." : There were around 12 of them in total, including sound engineers and other : crew, although band leader and main writer Noel Gallagher was not in : attendance. : Despite being rock and roll stars, they told fans that instead of hitting ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ : traditionally trendy areas such as George Street, they were more than happy : half a world away in the Royal Mile pub. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ : Little by little, more members of the public realised who was drinking nearby ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ : and squeezed through the door to seek photos and autographs with their heroes : and performers of classic songs familiar to millions. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ : Mr Still, who rebranded the pub in May 2007, added: "They left a nice tip, : although I'm not sure exactly how much, and drank mostly beer, though I'm : sure they tried some of our whiskies as well. : "It's great for us that someone as popular as this should choose to stay with : us in the bar. Some had approached asking where they would go next and they : replied they would stay in Whiski because they thought it was 'cool'. : "They went down to the kitchen as well because they'd never seen a haggis : before, so we cooked one for them so they could see for themselves how it was : all done. : "We did generally leave them alone, and although a lot of people came up to : speak to them they were generally left in peace." : The band, who have played several times in the Capital before, are understood : to have left the pub at around 10pm. 我尽力了 :P -- ╭╦═╮╭ ╠╣ ╬╦═╯╭══╮ ╭╦═╮╮╭╮╭╭══╮ ╭╦═╮╭╦═╮ ╰╩╦╮╠╣ ╭╦═╣ ╠╣ ╠╣╠╣╭╦═╣ ╠╣ ╰╩╦╮ ╰═╩╯╰╩═╯╰╩═╰ ╚╝ ╰╯╰╯╰╩═╰ ╚╝ ╰═╩╯ --
