Tavener was signed to and they issued his The Whale and Celtic Requiem. On 4 May 2000 Paul travelled to New York by Concorde specially to appear at a concert at the church of St Ignatius Loyola.

Taylor, Alistair Originally a personal assistant to at his NEMS branch in Whitechapel, . When Bill Harry arranged for Brian Epstein to visit to see the Beatles on 13 December 1961, Alistair accompanied him. It was Alistair's signature that witnessed the first Beatles management contract, and he also turned down Epstein's offer of 2 1/2 per cent of the Beatles contract. Later, owing to asthma problems suffered by his wife, Lesley, Alistair decided to move to healthier climes down South and left Epstein's employ to join Pye Records. A casual meeting with Epstein at Pye resulted in Alistair's rejoining NEMS. He recalls that the member of the Beatles he was closest to was Paul and it was Paul who coined the term 'Mr Jobworthy' for him because he was responsible for arranging so many things for them. He was also known as 'Mr Fixit'. Following Epstein's death, Alistair remained in the Beatles' employ and, when Apple was launched, suggested he become general manager of the company. Paul arranged for Alistair to pose for the photograph used in the initial advertisements, designed by Paul, who featured Taylor as a one-man band, dressed in bowler hat and suit. Paul also wrote the copy for the ad, which read: This man has talent. One day he sang his songs to a tape recorder (borrowed from the man next door). In his neatest handwriting he wrote an explanatory note (giving his name and address) and, remembering to enclose a picture of himself, sent the tape, letter and photograph to Apple Music, 94 Baker Street, Wl. If you were thinking of doing the same thing yourself - do it now! This man now owns a Bentley! Alistair has written no fewer than three biographies describing his experiences with the Beatles. The first Yesterday: The Beatles Remembered, was a positive memoir with no rancour, despite the fact that he was unceremoniously sacked from Apple when took over the reins. Alistair attempted to contact members of the group by phone, but none of them would talk to him. Paul was to comment on the sacking in the when he said: 'It isn't possible to be nice about giving someone the sack.' He worked for Dick James Publishing as a press officer for a while, and then became project manager at Morgan Grampian Publications. He later took on a number of labouring jobs and said: 'I've shovelled lead, made machine knives, washed pots in pubs. I'm not proud or very well qualified.' His second book, A Secret History, published in 2001, saw him take a more bitter tone concerning his relationship with the Beatles, possibly because he was not even mentioned in . His co-writer Stafford Hildred, wrote: 'He arranged flights, deflected paternity suits, lent money and often a shoulder to cry on. He bought islands, cars and houses for ... he was a grief counsellor for Paul McCartney when dumped him because she came home early and found him in their bed with another woman ... and he had been effectively airbrushed out of official Beatles history.' In his book Alistair claims that he helped Paul to co-write 'Hello Goodbye' at Cavendish Avenue and says: 'Those were the seeds of a Beatles number one, written, I will always believe, by Taylor and McCartney.' He admits that he never got on with Linda and has a number of negative things to say about her in his book. He published his third biography a year later in 2002.

During the show Paul played harmonica on stage for the first time during the performance of a new number 'The River'. He also introduced a second new track during the set, 'The World Is Waiting For The Sunrise'. Paul hadn't played this particular number for decades.

TFI FRIDAY A Channel Four series hosted by Chris Evans and produced by Ginger television. Paul appeared on the show on Friday 27 June 1997. The previous day he'd spent the afternoon at the show's venue, the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith, rehearsing the two songs he would be performing, '' and '', also laying down the guitar, drums and bass parts which would back him during his performance. Evans had actually been trying to get Paul to appear on his show for over a year and received confirmation after he'd sent Paul a fax: 'You would (a) have a great time; (b) have a great time; (c) have a f****** great time.' Paul appeared in the second part of the show in which Chris Evans took faxes from various celebrities who had asked Paul a question.

Thames At Six A television show that included a section called 'Nicky Home's Music Scene'. The five-minute piece included an interview with Paul on Monday 19 May 1980. Paul was promoting his McCartney II album and also discussed his recent Japanese drug bust, saying, 'It was very stupid. We'd been to America and the attitude to drugs over there is very different and it led me to take a real casual approach. Most people taking that kind of thing into the country would give it to the roadies, that's the common practice. That just shows that I wasn't really thinking about it. I was taking my opinion of it instead of the legal opinion of it, and I just didn't really think much about it, you know, till the fellow pulled it out of the suitcase and he looked more embarrassed than me. He wanted to put it back and forget the whole thing, you know.' Home asked him, 'What thoughts went through your head when you realised it could be seven years?' Paul said, 'The first thing you do is ask to see your British Consul. You always think, "He'll get me out." Well, he turned up with a flat cap on, he didn't look like a consul at all, our man in Havana or something. He said, "Well Paul, there's a fellow in here who had a lot less than you had and he's done three months already, so you could have seven years' hard labour to look forward to." I thought, "What!" and my jaw dropped. You're worried about how long it's going to last; you're just not worried about the immediate conditions. It's not Bridge On The River Kwai you know, it's not that bad. The immediate worry during the time is what's going to happen to Linda and the kids. Those are the main worrying things.' Thank You Darling A Wings number that was first performed live at their Nottingham University debut in February 1972. The studio recording was ongmallly intended for the album, but wasn't used.

That Day Is Done One of the songs Paul co-wrote with for the album , and it's also the song in which the phrase 'flowers in the dirt' comes from. Paul described it as a sad song because it was written when Elvis's grandmother was dying in Ireland. That Means A Lot A number by Paul and John, which the Beatles recorded during the Help! album sessions on Saturday 20 February and Tuesday 30 March 1965. They weren't happy with the result and didn't release it. John was to say, 'The song is a ballad which Paul and I wrote for the film but we found we just couldn't sing it. In fact, we made a hash of it, so we thought we'd better give it to someone who could do it well.' When the Beatles were making their 'Around The Beatles' TV special, PJ Proby was one of the guests and he asked Paul if he had a number to give him. Paul let him have 'That Means A Lot'. Proby recorded it at Abbey Road Studios on Wednesday 7 April 1965, with Ron Richards producing. He issued the number as a single in the US on 5 July 1965 on Liberty 55806.

Thatcher, Margaret The first female Prime minister of the UK and former leader of the Conservative Party. Paul and Linda's opinions over the years seemed to suggest that the couple favoured socialism. During the 1981 industrial dispute over nurses' salaries, Paul actually sent a telegram to Margaret Thatcher in November. It read: 'What the miners did for Ted Heath, the nurses will do for you.' This referred to the fact that the Conservative government had been brought down by the miners' strike in 1972. Paul's prediction didn't come true. In 1984 Paul and Linda met Mrs Thatcher and said afterwards, 'When we were talking to Mrs Thatcher, we said how in a lot of council houses the plumbing was bad, the paint and ceilings were cracking. Why don't they take people on the dole, who want to work, and give them jobs repairing council homes? Maggie Thatcher said, "Oh, the unions wouldn't allow me to do that."' Theatre Antique A 2,000-seater open-air Roman amphitheatre in Chateauvallon, in the South of France.

When asked why he hadn't included Britain on the tour, Paul commented, 'We will play in Britain some time or other, but not right now. The audiences are very critical in Britain and we're a new band just starting out, no matter what any one us have been through individually before. We have to get worked-in before doing any big shows in Britain and America.' At the backstage press conference Paul also commented on a number of matters. When discussing the fact that he turned down an invitation from to appear at 'The Concert For Bangla Desh' the previous year, he said, 'If I'd gone there I know for certain it would have been played up as "Hey! The Beatles are back together again!" It may have only been for one night, but the whole world would have taken it as the truth. But it's ended!' When Paul was asked why he and the band were travelling around on a double-decker bus, he answered, 'It mainly came about when we were on holiday and we were trying to get healthy before a tour. We suddenly thought, "Wait a minute", if we're going to be in Europe in summer going to places like the South of France, we thought it'd be silly to be in some box all day gasping for air. So we came up with this idea to have an open deck. We've got mattresses up there so we can just cruise along - fantastic! Just lie around, get the sun and keep healthy.' The line-up was Paul, Linda, Henry McCullough on lead, Denny Laine on rhythm and on drums. All five wore dark stage-suits with bell-bottom trousers with gold braiding.

In one of the cabins below deck Paul began writing the song one afternoon on an then completed the rest on the deck. Paul commented, 'I wrote this on acoustic. It was a slightly nostalgic thing already, a future nostalgia. We'll remember the things we said today, sometime in the future, so the song projects itself into the future. It was a sophisticated little tune.' It was recorded at Abbey Road Studios on 2 June 1964 and issued as the B-side of 'A Hard Day's Night' on 10 June 1964.

This Is Your Life A popular television show that, in Britain, once had a weekly audience of 20 million viewers. Eamonn Andrews, a former Irish boxer who won the Irish Junior Middleweight title, originally hosted it. He worked in an insurance office in his native for a time before moving to London to present the BBC's Sports Report. In 1951 he became host of What's My Line?, a popular television show, before moving in 1964 to independent television to host The Eamonn Andrews Show, Britain's first late night chat-show. In the 1960s he took over as host of Thames Television's series This Is Your Life. Among the many guests he spotlighted were Arthur Dooley, George Martin and John Conteh. Conteh was 22 years old at the time and had won the World Light-Heavyweight Championship title 36 days previously. Paul had featured him on the cover of his Band On The Run album and had attended the Championship fight after sending John a telegram reading: 'You made me number one. Now you be number one.' Because of this, Andrews decided that Paul and Linda could help him to spring the surprise on the new champion. On Wednesday 6 November 1974, Paul and Linda lured the unsuspecting Conteh to Abbey Road Studios on the pretext that Linda wanted to take some photographs of him and Paul together. Andrews hid behind an acoustic screen; when John was settled at the piano with Paul, he jumped out with his famous red book and photographer Stan Allen snapped away. Conteh was then driven to the television studios for the programme and a live link was kept open with Abbey Road to enable Paul and Linda to pay their own tribute on the show. Paul was also to record a message for Gerry Marsden when the leader of Gerry & the Pacemakers was a recipient of the red book.

The back cover showed a view of a recording session in a studio; the figure with a ram's head is discussing the music with the seated musicians, and Paul's head is reflected in the glass pane of the studio window. This picture is based on an actual photograph taken during the Ram sessions when the standing figure was Paul. The album was an MPL production with the credit: 'Produced by Percy "Thrills" Thrillington', so we may assume that Percy is a pseudonym for Paul. The biographical blurb below the photograph reveals: 'Percy "Thrills" Thrillington was born in Coventry Cathedral in 1939. As a young man he wandered the globe. His travels took him to Baton Rouge, Louisiana in the US where he studied music for five years. He later moved to LA where he gained expertise in and arranging as well as the marketing end of the music business. Eventually his path led to London where his long ambition to form his own orchestra was finally realised. On this record Percy takes all the songs from Paul and Linda McCartney's Ram album and, with the help of some of London's best orchestra and "big band" musicians, forges the themes into new orchestral versions. He is assisted by Richard Hewson, who arranged and conducted. When McCartney heard what "Thrills" was doing he even gave the project his seal of approval.' Musicians appearing on the 11-song album included Clem Cattini on drums, Roger Coulan on organ, Vic Flick on guitar, Herbie Flowers on bass, Steve Grey on piano, and Jim Lawless on percussion.
