Oasis ROCKS!

The new Printworks @ The Morrison Hotel was a mecca for the party core on Thursday night as Oasis celebrated their 10th year in Ireland with a big bash, suitably called Oasis Rocks! The trendy venue had been decked out in a boudoir style, with small seating areas - perfect for cliques to catch up on gossip.

Earlier in the day Roberta Howett (ex X-Factor finalist) had attended a photocall at the newly revamped Oasis flagship store on St. Stephen's Green. Since making the X-Factor final this time last year, Roberta has moved to London to pursue a career in music.

After a fashion extravaganza, which showcased the latest Oasis collection, guests made a considerable dent in the champagne on offer. Sister act Cecelia Ahern and Georgina, Andrew Rudd, TV presenter Brendan Courtney, the gorgeous Roisin NĂ­ Mhordha and Julian Benson were all there.

Lisa Stansfield and Gavin Friday represented the rock fraternity and Gavin Lambe - Murphy had a TV crew in tow, filming for his latest reality TV show. He will celebrate his 30th birthday soon with a huge party in trendy bar Cocoon. UIP publicist Anna Lavery was unwinding before the next day, when she was to accompany actress Emma Thompson, who was in town for the premiere of her latest movie.

All left with a generous goody bag, with girls delighted to receive their VIP 25% weekend discount card. A welcome oasis for their credit cards among the usual expense of Grafton Steet.
