A gig contract from the early days of rock band Oasis requesting “sober-speaking” venue staff, “24 large cans of quality lager” and no fast food is set to go up for auction.
In the pantheon of musical diva demands the listings seem modest, further specifying; four litres of still mineral water and 10 cans of assorted soft drinks, as well as fruit juices, teas and coffee.
