It would be an epic understatement to say Blur and Oasis' relationship in the nineties was merely fractious, characterised as it was, by bitter chart rivalry and slanging matches in the press. Both bands took full advantage of the nation’s interest, playing up to their pantomime roles of middleclass southerners and working class northerners.
However recent comments by Blur bassist, Alex James seem to wholly contradict the band's past behaviour. Whilst on location filming in Manchester, James, a judge on T4's Orange unsignedAct, revealed his love for Mancunian bands.
Does this mean a reconciliation is in the air? Could we see the reformed Blur joined on stage by Oasis for a singalong when they play Hyde Park next year?
Watch Alex James' full confession this Sunday, on Orange unsignedAct with Sony Ericcson on T4 at 1220pm.
