The cottage is located roughly 10km from Knock Airport and is within walking distance of the centre of Charlestown.<\/p>\n

Oasis recently played two sold-out nights at Croke Park. During one of the shows, Liam paid tribute to Charlestown, dedicating the band\u2019s hit single \u2018Roll With It\u2019 to the Mayo town. \u201cIs anyone here from Charlestown?\u201d he asked the 80,000-strong crowd, before joking, \u201cThere\u2019s only about five people there, you can\u2019t all be from there.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also dedicated the song \u2018Stand By Me\u2019 to his mother Peggy, who was in the crowd. \u201cI wanna play this one to me mam,\u201d he told the cheering fans.<\/p>\n

Peggy Gallagher herself grew up in Sonnagh, living there for 18 years before emigrating to Manchester in search of better opportunities during Ireland\u2019s economically difficult years.<\/p>\n

News of the sale has stirred excitement in the town, with residents hoping the famous brothers might return to Charlestown. Some fans have already made their way to Mayo this week, eager for a glimpse of the brothers.<\/p>\n
