Born in Manchester, the rhythm guitarist is almost exclusively known by his nickname Bonehead - from the short back and sides haircut he had as a child.

He will be spinning the discs on a special DJ night at the venue, following performances from Winterlong, Four Day Hombre, Mellow Rebellion, Dirty Tux and Pylonless Wires.

Bonehead formed 'The Rain' in the late 1980s with friends Paul 'Guigsy' McGuigan, Tony McCaroll (drums) and Chris Hutton (vocals). Liam Gallager stepped in when Hutton left and renamed the group Oasis, and he and Bonehead teamed up as songwriters.

But it wasn't until Liam persuaded brother Noel to join the line-up that success beckoned. Noel had recently returned from his worldwide travels as a roadie with the Inspiral Carpets, and was armed with a collection of songs, including Live Forever and All Around The World.

Bonehead's front room - plastered and decorated by himself - was even used on the front cover of Oasis' debut album, Definitely Maybe.

And in addition to his role as musician with the group, he was also the Oasis diplomat, intervening when brothers Liam and Noel clashed.

He left Oasis in 1999 during the recording of the group's fourth album, Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, to spend more time with his family.

Since then he has been playing DJ sets in clubs, with a playlist featuring Oasis classics like Live Forever, and artists like Death in Vegas and The Chemical Brothers.

Tickets for the night, on Saturday 14th June, are £8 advance, £10 door, and are available from the venue itself, www.townmill.com, www.ticketbweb.co.uk or on the secure phone line on 08700 600 100.
