Hot on the heels of last week’s birthday special, we have another one this week in the form of a 70th birthday celebration for an equally colossal figure in the world of popular music, namely one Sir Paul McCartney.We’ve tried to avoid playing versions of Beatles-era McCartney and have instead concentrated on Sir Paul’s solo work. Particular highlights include arrangements of his songs by the Calcutta Youth Choir and Brazilian band Pato Fu – we fully expect to be playing more by these fabulous bands in future shows.
In addition to all the McCartney music we have also managed to cram in the flip-side of the latest in the Study Series from Ghost Box records by The Advisory Circle.
