A previously unseen video clip of Paul and Linda McCartney paying a visit to the construction site of the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts (LIPA) in 1992 was revealed to Beatles Examiner on July 21 by Dean Johnson, one of the authors of “The Beatles and Me.”
The 48-second clip shows McCartney looking over the site and chatting with sound recording student John Lunt, who, according to Johnson, discovered the tape again just last week. McCartney poses happily for the camera and refers to Lunt as “John with the hairy mic!” before reaching out to hold the soundman’s boom cover. He then says goodbye and acknowledges everyone in the area with waves while clenching his fist.

Kodaline wish they had written The Beatles hit 'Hey Jude'. The Irish band are ''massive fans'' of the classic pop group and vocalist Steve Garrigan said he wished he had written their classic 1968 single. Guitarist Mark Prendergast added he also wishes he penned 'Romeo and Juliet' by Dire Straits, whilst Steve also chose 'Change is Gonna Come' by Sam Cooke.
Being Beatles fans the boys were pleased to say they are friends with singer John Lennon's son, Julian. Speaking to Music Unlimited, the music streaming service from Sony Entertainment Network, Mark said: ''We played a show in New York and he came and took photos and hung out and had a few beers with us. We email now and again. Because we are massive Beatles fans, to be friends with him is cool.''

detailsPaul McCartney's return to Seattle Friday for his highly anticipated Safeco Field show is stirring some embarrassing memories for iconic Seattle DJ and concert promoter Pat O'Day. O'Day was the program director and promoter of two Beatles shows at the old Seattle Coliseum (now KeyArena) on August 25, 1966. But several weeks before, he got a visit at KJR radio from a young woman who said she had to talk to him in private.
The woman told O'Day she was the assistant manager of a local answering service. "She said 'Pat here's what's going on. I have evidence Paul McCartney is going to get married to Jane Asher when the Beatles are here in Seattle.'" O'Day's interest was piqued. But he couldn't believe it, until the woman showed him some pretty compelling stuff.
