BBC Radio 4 - Mastertapes, Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney joins John Wilson and the audience at BBC Maida Vale to discuss songwriting

Paul McCartney joins John Wilson to discuss songwriting, his career post-Beatles and to answer questions from an audience that includes Paul Weller and Brad Pitt.

On the eve of the sixth series of Mastertapes (which features the likes of Laura Marling, Graham Nash and Shirley Collins) there is another chance to hear the Mastertapes special, in which Paul McCartney joins John Wilson. Recorded in the iconic BBC Maida Vale studios, they discuss songwriting, Paul's solo career in the years immediately after The Beatles, his recent collaborations with Kanye West, and working with the likes of George Martin, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and - obviously - John Lennon. He also takes questions from an audience that includes Paul Weller, Noel Gallagher and Brad Pitt.
