WILL you still need me, when it’s 2023? A host of popular songs by one of the giants of the popular music scene will be performed at The Hexagon, but you’ll have to wait until next year to hear it.
The McCartney Songbook is a new show that recreates masterworks from the influential Beatle, spanning over six decades.
It comes from the producers of smash hit shows That’ll Be The Day and Walk Right Back, and aims to be the ultimate McCartney experience.
Starring Peter John Jackson (Let It Be, The Sessions At Abbey Road, That’ll Be The Day), the production will take audiences on a musical journey of Sir Paul’s career from the early beginnings with the Fab Four, the Wings days and his prolific solo career with tales of life on the road and flashbacks to life in Liverpool.
Merseybeat to songs featured in his Glastonbury set, they will all stand together for one night only. It will be like a wonderful Christmastime, that sees much-loved tracks come together. There may even be some silly love songs in there.
With authentic costume and instrumentation complete with a fantastic live band, The McCartney Songbook features over 40 monster hits including Band On The Run, Can’t Buy Me Love, Yesterday, Live and Let Die, Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and Hey Jude.
The show will be at The Hexagon in Reading on Wednesday, June 7. Tickets cost £27.50, and are already on sale.
