Tour Guide at Quarry Bank High School, where John Lennon formed The Quarry Men…soon to become The Beatles. I dig a pigmy.

Gig 127 - James Taylor. Finally ticked him off my list and bonus Beatle references and stories throughout. #Jamestaylor #TheBeatles

What a special event! I felt very privileged to have gone and to have shared it with my cousin, her first time seeing McCartney. Rob Brydon was a fantastic interviewer and Paul was on form! Funny, informative, melancholic and powerful. 10/10 experience. #paulmccartney

8 years ago today I got to see Paul McCartney play his Carpool Karaoke gig, although we couldn’t take photos inside I managed to grab these afterwards #paulmccartney

@bluesonofspeke Elvis would be right!

On March 22nd 2014, me and my Dad sat and watched McCartney and Springsteen on TV and talked about how much we’d love to witness it for real. This time last year on June 8th 2025, we did, marking my 13th time seeing McCartney. #paulmccartney #brucespringsteen

As You Lie There - what an opening! Eighty-Four! GOAT! #paulmccartney #theboysofdungeonlane

[Tom Barry @TomBarryBeatles]

I think this new album is a grower, and currently I’d rank it pretty highly in McCartneys solo albums.

1. Flaming Pie
2. Chaos and Creation
3. Tug Of War
4. Pipes Of Peace
5. Egypt Station
6. The Boys Of Dungeon Lane

@NemoNihil1664 @StephenDarwood Absolutely, each to their own! I think his comment regarding influencers last week was a strange one when he’s utilising them (and arguably corrupting his morals) to achieve No1. I’d argue the marketing strategy for Egypt Station was perfect, why deviate?!

[Tom Barry @TomBarryBeatles]

@NemoNihil1664 @StephenDarwood My first thought too @NemoNihil1664 when Paul played The Cavern in 18 he ensured that all leather furniture was removed from the dressing/back rooms. Regardless of veggie episodes, Paul is usually more direct in having no association with this sort of thing. Anyway, I love KFC!

@JVMonte2 It has to be George’s All Things Must Pass but Quadrophenia is the firm, immovable second.

In Penny Lane there is a pervert showing off his ass…

Potential new verse?

You’ve got to take your hat off to the Scousers, they know what they’ve got with The Beatles, and they honour them properly. I mean, their airport is named after John Lennon. Not a statue, though there is one of him there, but an international airport. That’s not a “this will get the tourists in” move. When you start naming airports after someone, you’re acknowledging they’re a legend.

And you go to Liverpool and stay in the Hard Day’s Night Hotel, which is round the corner from the Beatles Quarter, which is full of Beatles pubs and shops. And the Cavern. And the Beatles museum, which isn’t even the only one. There’s a bigger and better one down at the docks. And there’s Beatles stuff scattered all over the city, reminding you this is the home of the Fab Four. It doesn’t feel like cashing in, more like a city that knows exactly what it gave the world, and isn’t shy about it. Great place, great people.
