’Paul Or Nothing’ Podcast

Welcome back Paul bearers, This week, we test the boundaries of my own arrogance and ego as I take it upon myself to go back in time and 'fix' a previously released McCartney album. On this episode we go back to the difficult second album that is Red Rose Speedway and we'll see what can be done about it.  In this episode I will attempt, not only to restore Red Rose Speedway back to the status of d...

Hello, one and all, Welcome all to the second of our gig review bonus episodes, where I spend far too much time dissecting a gig that by all means should be covered in ten minutes. So with that being said, sit back, relax and enjoy Paul's titanic 3 hour show and the ten thousand songs it comprises.  Please enjoy. Peace and Love. Hare Hare Krishna. If you haven't seen the blog, check it out at  www...

Welcome back to another bonus episode of Paul or Nothing, Yes everyone, we are once again going to be breaking my 'no Beatle-talk' rule. Why? Because content that's why! This time it will be to settle the age old question, once and for all, what are my favourite songs that Paul wrote whilst a member of the Beatles. You've heard of The Beatles right? Rock and roll band, Liverpool? Now this may be b...

Greetings one and all, Of all the authors I have had on this show, none have had the personal, one-to-one, access that Paul Du Noyer has been privy to. In fact, most journalists would give their left leg, arm (or other body part) to spend 1% of the time with Paul that my guest today has. Come join us as we discuss anything and everything about McCartney, ranging from the Beatles, Wings, The Firema...

This is gonna be a fu...

Good evening everybody, Welcome to the first of our 'gig reviews', where we will be picking a gig at random and reviewing it entirely out of context.

Hey folks, just a little something extra for you here. For the first time ever we have a guest back on the show!

We back (to the egg) with a vengeance! On this episode of Paul or Nothing, we explore the first half of the "Wings Over the World Tour" and the unexpected gap in their schedule that allowed Wings to make the album we are reviewing here today. Spoiler alert, it isn't their best one! This is Wings at the Speed of Sound. The songs we discuss today will range from the sublimely ridiculous, to the ridi...
