A section of the exhibition is dedicated to Jill’s unique and intimate collection of Oasis images that reflect her close relationship with the band during their zenith. A short film has been created especially for the exhibition by Yvonne Catterson showing Jill & Noel Gallagher discussing her work and unique relationship with the band over those unprecedented years. Bringing the stories behind the imagery closer, an audio guide is available for visitors to access through their own headphones narrated by Jill, Noel Gallagher and Chrissie Hynde.
