Artist Pete McKee is famous for his colourful depictions of everyday life in South Yorkshire
A Sheffield painter has revealed that Noel Gallagher asked permission to use the title of a book of the artist's paintings as the name of his new album. Pete McKee said he was contacted by the former Oasis songwriter last year who said he wanted to use the phrase "Council Skies" for his new recording.He said he was "proud as Punch" that the rock star has used his book title."He told me that he had written this song that he thought was the best song he had ever written and he was going to call it Council Skies and he wanted to call the album Council Skies too," Mr McKee said.
Mr McKee said their friendship had actually started 15 years ago after he sent Gallagher a print of one of his paintings."It was a young lad sat on the edge of a bed with his guitar on his lap learning to play along to a Beatles album."The artist said he used tester pots for his artworks and invented the name Council Sky to refer to a certain shade of blue., after seeing my book Council Skies on his shelf he asked if he could use its title for his upcoming album.
