Oasis by Jill Furmanovsky and Noel Gallagher

Last updated: 13 October 2026

What is in the Oasis book

Furmanovsky started photographing Oasis in 1994, on the tour for their first album. She kept going through the difficult Dig Out Your Soul shows in 2009 and, after the long break, to the reunion in 2025. The book has 557 illustrations across 304 pages: the famous shots alongside a great deal of candid, behind-the-scenes material.

Noel Gallagher wrote the foreword and Furmanovsky the introduction. Three longer pieces then cover the band's early, middle and late years: by the author Simon Spence, the publicist and writer Johnny Hopkins and the music writer Laura Barton. Furmanovsky and Gallagher add their own notes to the photographs.

Jill Furmanovsky and the band

Of the band, Furmanovsky has said: "Oasis permitted closeness, and that was a great gift to me as a photographer." Gallagher's line on her is on the cover: "It's been an honour to have been associated with Jill for 30 years." The full description is on Thames & Hudson's page for the book.

The price gap

When I checked, the same hardback was £22.73 on Amazon and £47.50 on Bookshop.org, against an RRP of £50. That is a gap of almost £25 for an identical book. Bookshop.org passes money to independent bookshops, which some buyers will want to pay for. If you would rather keep the difference, Amazon is the cheaper route by a long way, though prices like that can change quickly.

Who it suits as a gift

It suits anyone who saw the band in the 1990s or at the 2025 reunion shows. It also works for a photography lover, since the pictures come from one photographer's long relationship with a band rather than a press archive. At 32cm tall, it is a book for a coffee table.

The limits

It is a photo book, so the writing is a foreword, three essays and captions, not a full band history. It is also large and heavy, which makes it awkward to read in bed or carry around. And the Bookshop.org price is more than double Amazon's on the day I checked, so shop around before you buy.

Where to buy it in the UK

Amazon UK had it at £22.73, in stock. Bookshop.org had it at £47.50, ready to despatch. For more presents for a music fan, see my page on How Music Works by David Byrne.
