to find that his brother Liam had become a singer with a local band called
The Rain. Noel attended one of their concerts in Manchesters Boardwalk,but was not impressed with the groups act. He rejected an offer from
Liam to be the bands manager; he agreed to join the band, on the
condition of take control of the group and became its sole songwriter.

group after having heard them playing for the first time: Let me write
your songs and Ill take you to superstardom, or else youll rot here in
Manchester. This had earned him a nick name The Chief by the band
members of the Rain.
