Mini bio
How it started.
Paul was born in Liverpool on 18 June 1942 and wrote his first song at 14. On 6 July 1957, he met John Lennon at a church fête in Woolton. He soon joined Lennon’s Quarrymen, beginning the partnership that would become central to the Beatles.
Songs that travelled.
As a singer, bassist and songwriter in the Beatles, Paul helped bring Liverpool’s music to a worldwide audience. By their February 1964 visit to America, the band’s Ed Sullivan Show appearance reached 73 million viewers. Their albums included Revolver, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and Abbey Road.
Starting again.
Paul released McCartney in 1970, followed by RAM with Linda in 1971. That year, he formed Wings with Linda and Denny Laine. Band on the Run became one of the defining albums of that chapter. He continued making solo records, including McCartney III in 2020.
Still making things.
In 2026, Paul released The Boys of Dungeon Lane, made with Andrew Watt in sessions between tour dates over five years. Alongside the music, he shares memories through books, interviews and exhibitions of the photographs he took as the Beatles’ fame grew.
