Top of the swaps

THE Lottery Winners had to swap one Britpop legend for another when Noel Gallagher couldn’t make a session for their new LP.

The Leigh quartet return with KOKO today and, having befriended Noel on tour, were hoping to get him to sing on their tune ‘The Ceiling.

Singer Thom Rylance told me: “I was trying to get Noel on this record and I sent him the songs that I really wanted him to be on and he loved it but he was like, ‘I can’t do it at the moment. I've got something really big coming up. I can’t tell you what it is’
