Happy Birthday, Sir Paul

Today is Paul McCartney’s 79th birthday.

One of the greatest and most popular musicians of our time, and indeed of all time, his music already spans nearly sixty years, from Love Me Do, the first single released by the Beatles, to McCartney III, his lockdown album released last year.

He’s also made his mark at the cinema, from composing scores (The Family Way) to writing theme songs (Live and Let Die) to producing animation (Rupert and more) to appearing on screen, both with the other Beatles and by himself.

So while we wait for Peter Jackson’s video re-working of the Let It Be sessions and McCartney’s next album, have a look at some original cinema posters and lobby cards and join us in wishing a Happy Birthday to Sir Paul McCartney.
