It’s the morning after the Twitter rant the weekend before. The weekend just past, Liam Gallagher performed in Reading and Leeds. The Telegraph review of the summer’s latest festival gig by the former Oasis frontman was largely positive. But Liam – Twitter bio: ‘ROCK N ROLL STAR’ – wasn’t happy. ‘To the geezer who rites for the telegraph,’ he tweeted to his 2.18 million followers, ‘his names Amy it’s NAVY as in dark blue… [sic throughout].’

The critic (Amy Blumsom’s) sin? Misidentifying the colour of the zipped-to-the-throat parka that Liam, true to sartorial form, wore on stage. ‘This isn’t black, it’s f—ing navy, isn’t it?’ he says indignantly when we meet, fixing me with piercing blue eyes. He’s wearing the same Stone Island coat, in the same manner, and won’t remove it for the duration of our encounter in a north London brasserie.

When I tell him the colour has been corrected online, he pronounces himself satisfied. ‘Good.’
