Liam Gallagher<\/a> has been confirmed as the ambassador for Manchester music charity Brighter Sound<\/a> \u2013 and together they are offering the chance to win sold-out Adidas Spezial LG Achille SPZL trainers.<\/p>\n The non-profit organisation was launched 25 years ago, and works to champion new talent by creating opportunities for young people, emerging artists and future music professionals to find their way in music.<\/p>\n They are based in Manchester, and every year work with over 1,000 creatives \u2013 organising workshops, mentorships, live events and creative projects. Each is designed to raise the skills, connections and confidence that emerging talent need to take the next step in their career, or overcome the barriers they face when it comes to getting started.<\/p>\n Today (June 1), it has been confirmed that Liam Gallagher is the new ambassador and will be working with the charity to raise money.<\/p>\n Together, they have launched a new prize draw<\/a> to win pairs of his Adidas collab Achille SPZL trainers. That design was launched during last summer\u2019s massive \u2018Oasis Live \u201825\u2019 tour<\/a>, and sold out instantly. They have not been available since, until now.<\/p>\n There are 40 pairs of the Japanese exclusive design of the trainers (darker brown) and 95 pairs of the regular design (light brown) up for grabs in the new price draw, and sizes range from UK size ranging from 3.5 to 12.<\/p>\n Fans can enter via the fundraising platform Zeffy<\/a>, and tickets range from the \u00a310 single ticket to the \u00a325 bundle ticket which counts as three entries. You can also choose your own amount to donate, and 100 per cent of the funds will be donated to Brighter Sound.<\/p>\n The draw closes at 11pm on Monday 13 July, and there is no limit to how many tickets each fan can buy.

Manchester is an incredible place for music \u2013 and Liam and Oasis are a huge part of that story.<\/p>\n \u201cThis partnership reflects a shared commitment to making sure that more amazing talent continues to grow from the city and find its place on the world stage.\u201d<\/p>\n Earlier this year, the charity helped lead the first -ever BRITs Fringe<\/a> alongside the BRIT Awards\u2019 move to Manchester<\/a>, and it worked to both showcase the city\u2019s grassroots music scene and create opportunities for new talent.<\/p>\n Organisers have confirmed that the latest collaboration with Gallagher is the \u201cfirst stage of a wider collaboration\u201d the two of them have. More details about other plans are set to be released later this year.<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t the first time that Liam Gallagher has got involved in helping the Manchester community. Back in 2023, he was announced as a surprise announcer on the city\u2019s Metrolink<\/a> \u2013 Greater Manchester\u2019s integrated public transport system \u2013 to raise support for the Beyond the Music festival<\/a>. The event is a change-making conference, which sheds light on issues facing grassroots venues, developing talent, and infrastructure for the city region.<\/p>\n The Britpop icon did the same on the transport network last year<\/a>, ahead of Oasis\u2019 homecoming five-night stint at Heaton Park<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/blockquote>\n
