Paul McCartney

Sir Paul McCartney has promised "a couple of surprises" at his Capital of Culture concert at Anfield football ground in Liverpool this weekend.

The former Beatle told the BBC he will also be playing plenty of old favourites as well: "If I go to see someone's show, I want them to do the hits," he said. The concert will also feature the Kaiser Chiefs, Liverpool band the Zutons and Dave Grohl of US band the Foo Fighters.

Macca has played down speculation that fellow ex-Beatle Ringo Starr would join him on stage, telling the Liverpool Echo "that was never going to be on the cards".Sir Paul McCartney also said he would be interested in producing the Wombats who are former students of Paul McCartney's Liverpool Institute Of Performing Arts.

Talking about the Wombats, Paul said: “I don’t do much production now but it might be very tempting. I’m not sure they would want me. I had one of the guys out the wombats in one of my classes. It was great. Now years later they’re doing great.”

The Liverpool Sound concert will be aired on BBC 2 this Sunday (1 June) at 11pm.
