Britpop icon Liam Gallagher has been appointed an ambassador for music development charity Brighter Sound.

The new partnership with Gallagher begins with a fundraising prize draw giving fans the chance to win pairs of his sold-out adidas Achille SPZL trainers, with all proceeds helping support the charity's work with emerging artists and young creatives across Greater Manchester. Gallagher commented 'I'm honoured to be an Ambassador for Brighter Sound and to help support the new generation of creatives to launch their music projects. We need more help for the arts, especially for the working class'.
