He has enjoyed a long friendship with Noel Gallagher, who guested on several tracks by Smaller. He was also the inspiration for the Oasis song "Digsy's Dinner" on their album Definitely Maybe and was mentioned in a lyric to the title track on Be Here Now ("Your shit jokes remind me of Digsy's"). When Digsy was younger he was in the Hilda Valen Road show, and sang with a young group called Surprise. He won several completions at Butlins. His uncle, Wally Griffiths, taught his own sons Anthony Griffiths and Christopher Griffiths (and Digsy) to play guitar. Tony and Chris went on to become another well known band on Merseyside called The Real People, whom Oasis supported in their early days.
