Up close and personal with Paul McCartney

Brisbane music writer Sean Sennett flew to Adelaide to see Paul McCartney and host a conversation with him at an exclusive fan event and he says we are all in for the treat of our lives when the former Beatle’s Got Back tour arrives in Queensland

It’s twenty-four hours before Paul McCartney is due to officially start his Australian tour. He is getting ready to play a short set to 15 competition winners.

Apart from McCartney’s crew, the winners, their guests and a smattering of media the Adelaide Entertainment Centre is virtually empty. This hardly matters a jot to McCartney who performs a blistering twenty-five-minute collection of songs comprised of Beatles’ hits, highlights from his solo career and deep cuts.

Earlier in the afternoon your correspondent had the privilege of chatting to McCartney first on stage, and facilitating questions from the small audience. Relaxed and wearing a dark hoodie, you only need two minutes in McCartney’s company and you’re knocked out by the man’s warmth, candour and, of course, his catalogue. Having interviewed him previously McCartney’s warmth is always immediate.
