Noel Gallagher has asked the Crouch End Festival Chorus to appear on his debut solo album, it’s been reported.

The former Oasis guitarist’s manager is understood to have approached the choir’s conductor with the request.

“I was speaking to Noel's manager about this… we'd love it”, the choir’s conductor David Temple told XFM.

The Crouch End Festival Chorus supported Gallagher at his two solo gigs in London last month for the Teenage Cancer Trust.

The singer and guitarist, who left Oasis last year, has yet to unveil release plans for his new record.
