The outspoken guitarist and singer attended this year's awards ceremony in February but it seems it was a bit too dull for his liking.

Speaking to Shortlist, Gallagher recounted how he and former Britpop rival Damon Albarn sat together, got drunk and shouted at One Direction whilst they were on stage.

Going one further, the former Oasis man said that whilst they may be "nice" people, the 'Kiss You' stars' music and X Factor allegiance irks him. He said:

"One Direction, prancing up and down singing a Blondie song and getting an award for it. Nice lads though they might be, f**k off. Which is exactly what we told them. It's turning into the grand finale of the X Factor, which is exactly what Simon Cowell wants."

Referring to the BRITs itself, Gallagher added: "I think the BRITs has now reached a tipping point. Something needs to be done. It's a s**t thing for a middle-aged man to say - 'Well, it's not as good as it was in my day' - but, you know, I'm still switched on enough to think, 'It was better'. You look at the best now. Paloma Faith? Do me a favour. Who's f***ing decided she's a star? Emeli Sandé? That is f***ing music for grannies. I don't get it."

Speaking to Britain's ShortList magazine, the star explained that he has curated a series of seven consecutive shows at the Royal Albert Hall for the charity, but was shocked when musicians agreed to perform to his face then had their PRs call to cancel later on:

"I'd talk to Ed Sheeran and Mumford and Sons thinking, 'I'll just do the f**king seven nights myself, what the f**k am I asking these people for?' and I got turned down a lot."

"Everybody says yes to your face. Everybody. And then the agent will call, and their management will call and then their PR will call and say, 'Ah, they're going to be in Australia at the time.' Really? Well, they never said that to me."

Of the concerts, which will take place between March 19-25, Gallagher added that he hopes the acts that turned him down this year will make up for it in 2014 because some of them were fantastic: "What's interesting is all the working class bands said yes straight off the bat, no f**king inkling of when it was. The middle class bands said yes and wriggled out of it... if the people that blew me off but said they'll do it next year actually do it, it might be the greatest event since Woodstock."

Watch Gallagher's very recent interview with Russell Brand below:

Speaking to Time Out Dubai about the amusing incident, he explained that he spent time with the 'Song 2' singer as they sat at the same table and got on because they shared the same opinion on the UK boyband:

"We were both invited by War Child (this year) so we were sat on the same table. And it turns out, after all these years, that we're both actually really genial fellas. We got absolutely (drunk) and told One Direction to (go away) in unison, that was the highlight of the night."

When asked how One Direction reacted to the face-to-face snub, Gallagher joked: "I don't know, you better ask One Direction."

Speaking to Britain's The Sun newspaper about being approached to perform at the Teenage Cancer Trust shows, which Gallagher is organising for later this year, the hitmaker explained that he called her up and made the confession during their chat:

"Yeah, he called me up out of the blue. It’s great that he's involved and is arranging it. It was exciting to speak to him. I was like, 'Really?' He said I was his favourite [Girls Aloud member] and Sarah wasn’t very happy about that."

Walsh admitted that while she was really excited about the offer, she had to decline it as the dates clashed with previously confirmed Girls Aloud commitments:

"The Girls Aloud tour is around the same time so we couldn't make it work. I'm gutted that we can't do it."

The poll was carried out to mark the start of TV channel Dave's Leicester Comedy Festival and 2,000 people were asked to choose from a list of 25 celebrities, which excluded professional comedians.

'Don't Look Back In Anger' musician Gallagher came in seventh and 'Candy' sensation Williams placed just before him at No.6.

Steve North, Dave's general manager, said of the list: "Britain is a hotbed of comedy talent and it's clear you don't have to be on the comedy payroll to get the nation laughing, as our top ten of Britain's greatest living wits encompasses celebrities from diverse fields including the worlds of sport, music, film and politics."

The quote chosen to represent Robbie Williams was: "Madonna looked amazing. I can't believe she's 89 and looks like that."

Gallagher's, meanwhile, was in reference to footballer Wayne Rooney: "I'm not having it, He looks like a f**king balloon with a f**king Weetabix crushed on top."

Watch a collection of Gallagher's funniest moments below:

The High Flying Birds front man said he understood why fans remained hopeful, since Oasis were such a “huge thing.”

He told the Evening Standard: “I can understand the man in the street thinking, ‘that was such a huge thing, how can you walk away from it?’ When the Sex Pistols reformed I thought it was the greatest thing of all time.”

However, Gallagher, 45, did say a second life for Oasis was not necessarily “on the cards” any time soon since he recently met up with the other former band members and none of them mentioned it.

He added: “If the Stone Roses can do it, then anyone can do it. You can never predict what you’ll be doing in 20 years’ time, but I guess if everyone remains vaguely slim and has not gone bald, then it’s on the cards. Forever.”

Gallagher is curating the Teenage Cancer Trust's set of gigs next year.

The shows will bring together some of the biggest bands and comedians to entertain audiences at The Royal Albert Hall, in London raising money for young cancer sufferers.

Gallagher is due to play a headline show with Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon of Blur.

Russell Brand, Ryan Adams, Primal Scream, Rizzle Kicks and Kasabian are all in the line-up to appear across a week of shows in March.

Watch Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds perform Oasis' Little By Little here:

The pair have had a notoriously rocky relationship over the years and speaking to BBC 6 Music earlier today (November 14), Noel joked that Liam's vocals ruin the music his band makes:

"The thing with Beady Eye is...their singer does them a great disservice."

"I think they caught a lot of flak that was quite undeserved, really. It's only their first album. I think they've got a great album in them next time. They need one. They fucking need one, that's for sure."

When asked what terms they are on lately as brothers, he added:

"He's doing his thing. I'm doing mine. We text each other at Christmas. I saw him at a party after the Olympics - he did the usual which was hurl and insult at me and walk off."

Watch Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' video for 'Everybody's On The Run' here:

The High Flying Birds star told the NME last month that the band’s much-derided third studio effort 's**t on the legacy' of 1995 predecessor, 'What’s The Story (Morning Glory).'

However his ex-bandmate, who played with Oasis from 1991 until 1999, told the same publication that he thinks the record has an unfair bad reputation:

"I can’t speak for him but I don’t honestly think it was shit, because it wasn’t. It wasn't on a par with 'Definitely Maybe' but I certainly wouldn’t say it was shit. If 'Be Here Now' was the latest debut album, it would get rave reviews. But if you’re following on the back of 'Definitely Maybe' then it's hard to follow isn't it?

“The press jumped in and slated it because it was the difficult one after 'Definitely Maybe' and 'What's The Story…' Maybe Noel’s just saying that to cover his back but I certainly don’t think it’s a shit album."

In a blog post, Gallagher explained that both he and his band narrowly avoided being stuck on the South China Sea island state by making a rather dicey decision to fly home despite the fact that a tropical storm was brewing:

"We left town the next afternoon, just before a typhoon arrived. There'd been a warning the day before. It was a bit touch and go whether the plane was gonna be able to take off. I'm not sure what's worse in those situations... spending another night in a hotel or trying to fly home through the front end of a typhoon?"

"The locals didn't seem to be too bothered, so off we went. It was a fairly bumpy ride I have to say, but we arrived home safe and sound. Which is more than could be said for our bags what didn't arrive home until 2 days later."

The musician added that the gig he played in Taipei was great, but there was a small crowd disturbance that bothered him: "Very enthusiastic crowd spoiled only by the obligatory fat English idiot relentlessly shouting out random song titles."
