Noel Gallagher of Oasis, with his signature Union Jack guitar.
Jill Furmanovsky recalls, "Noel Gallagher with his Epiphone Union Jack guitar at a rehearsal for the ‘summer shows’ at Birmingham NEC, July 1996. These included the two massive shows at Knebworth Park in August 1996.
Even though you can’t see Noel’s face everything about this picture says ‘Oasis’ to fans who had seen him playing the iconic guitar at Maine Road a few months earlier. Most of my best-known work is in black and white but this is a happy exception: Noel’s tartan shirt echoing the red, white and blue of the Union Jack and his arm making a satisfying ‘X’ shape with the guitar neck."
