In 1975, Paul McCartney and Wings rehearsed here before their massive tour of the USA. Paul lives just up the road.. When we could see inside, they had removed the front 5-10 rows of seats, so they could get their gear in. Myself and 3-4 mates hang around every day for about a month outside the side door listening to them rehearsing.

At the and of the day Paul and Linda would come out and chat to us, Paul very kindly signed the back of an old bass guitar I had. They were the nicest people.

I was just 15 yrs old at the time. Hardly anyone knew they were there. Amazing really. Could you ever imagine that happening today.. I would love to meet Paul again, and chat about those days..

So sad that the place we knocked down..
