Saturday 17 September @ 8.30-10.00pm UK time; 4:30pm-6pm EST; 3:30pm-5pm CST
Sir Paul McCartney returns to Studio 2 at Abbey Road studios, the room where the Beatles records were made, for an intimate journey through his songwriting history, from his very first Beatles song to the work on his new album Chaos & Creation In The Backyard. Sir Paul talks to Radio 2's Mark Radcliffe about his songwriting techniques and shares stories of his writing partnership with John Lennon, his work with the Beatles and his solo career before giving a ground breaking solo live performance. Aided by producer Nigel Godrich he uses a selection of vintage instruments from his own collection to re-visit his back catalogue in new and revealing ways in front of a small audience. He re-interprets old songs, reveals new ones, plays cover versions and enlists the audience's help in a demonstration of 'in the moment' songwriting and arranging. He also shows how Radio 2 inspired this particular burst of creativity by re-creating the 'A Different Perspective' TV trail version of Band On The Run.
