A musician has described the surreal moment he discovered he had made the final cut of a major new documentary.
Jack Perrett, 33, from Newport, appears in Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger, which documents the legendary band’s Live '25 reunion tour.
The film follows Liam and Noel Gallagher performing together for the first time in more than 15 years, offering fans a behind-the-scenes look at rehearsals, backstage moments and the reunion concerts themselves.
Mr Perrett, a singer-songwriter and lifelong Oasis fan, said: "I actually went to the gig on the first night, and then I went out the day after to do some busking in the afternoon, which was always my plan.
"As I was busking there was a film crew there, and they asked if they could film me, and obviously I said yes."
He was filmed busking in Cardiff ahead of one of the band’s reunion shows.
A month or two later, he was contacted by one of the film’s producers to sign a release form, but he never expected to appear in the final cut.
Mr Perrett said: "I didn't think at the time that it’d actually make the final cut, so to speak."
He received confirmation via email about 10 days before the film’s premiere but remained cautious until he saw it for himself.
He said: "You sort of believe it when you see it.
"I didn't want to tell everyone that I was in this film if it was going to be nothing really."

Born and raised in Newport, Mr Perrett attended Durham Road Primary School and St Julian's High School.
He still lives in the city and works three days a week as a teaching assistant at Pontygamlas Primary School, supporting children with additional learning needs alongside his music career.
He credits Oasis as his main inspiration for picking up the guitar.
Mr Perrett said: "They're the reason I picked up the guitar really.
"The busking thing, I've been doing it at Liam and Noel's gigs when they've been solo for the last 10 years.
"I'd done it previously and I've gained a bit of exposure in the press before as well, but never made any documentaries or anything.
"I'm a massive, massive Oasis fan."
Mr Perrett began performing live around 2014 and has since earned airplay on BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio Wales, BBC 6 Music and Radio X.
He believes the documentary could be a turning point in his career.
He said: "I've been a musician now for 10 years and you're always thinking, how can you get that exposure and make a name for yourself?
"Something like this, arguably one of the biggest bands in the last 30 or 40 years, or ever really, bringing out a documentary and being featured in that, it's potentially massive exposure."
Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger will be released in cinemas and IMAX worldwide on September 11 following its premiere at the Venice Film Festival.
It is also expected to reach a wider audience through global streaming in 2026.
