Paul McCartney - Marvel Stadium
Saturday 21st October 2023
Sir Paul McCartney’s songwriting career started when he joined The Quarrymen, a band formed by John Lennon. The two quickly found common ground and began writing songs together. This songwriting partnership proved to be one of the most successful in music history, shaping the sound of The Beatles and influencing countless musicians to come.
During his time with The Beatles, McCartney began to explore a broad range of genres. The band’s early music was rooted in 1950s rock and roll and skiffle, but they quickly branched out.
By integrating elements of classical and Indian music for songs like “Within You Without You”, they broke through conventional compositions. They were pioneers in the psychedelic rock movement with albums like Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and Magical Mystery Tour.
