Well he doesn't!  Crappy casio keyboard sounds, ropy acoustic guitar sounds.  He's written some of the best songs in the last hundred years, but his stage show isn't some paragon of perfection.

OR, as the Bootleg Beatles have another billed slot in Acoustic Tent, the Pyramid Slot is just a front for the secret...

Why would they agree to that?

Because they're massive Beatles fans.

If I had to pretend to be Paul McCartney every day the last thing I'd want to see is the real one.

I hate the real The Beatles

This quote from Bootleg John Lennon indicates otherwise.

No chance. He'd play with his band or no band, we're talking about one of the greatest musicians of all time. He demands high standards.

He really doesn't  

Doesn't he guest with loads of people? I can't see him having a problem with singing with the Bootlegs considering they're about the most accurate band in the world at playing his songs!

Certainly closer than Paul's own shows.

i hear Sir Thumbs Aloft is appearing with Sleaford Mods to perform their current single 'Moptop'.

which, in an ironic twist, wasn't written about either him or any other Beatle.

[CaledonianGonzo]

And he won't be performing One Day Like This A Year Is Quite Good with Elbow either,.

which, in an ironic twist, was written about the time Paul and Linda appeared as guest stars in Carla Lane's sitcom Bread.

He is the pretend one! The real Paul is long gone

Hey guys, long time lurker here - been meaning to make an account for a while and this seemed a good opportunity.

I know someone who plays for the Bootleg Beatles and I can 100% confirm they're playing that Pyramid slot and there's 0% chance Macca is joining them. If only it was so Sorry to rain on that - unlikely - parade. 

Peace x

Strongest hint yet that Macca is playing Sunday teatime in the Acoustic Tent.

Tbf I didn't ask about Ringo either

I've been away for a few days and trying to catch up.

Could someone please confirm: do we know the "really big secret", or are we still in wild speculation mode?

We dont know 100%

The general idea is that it is Liam Gallagher, Maccabees and Elbow, spread out as TBAs across the line up

Well that's a tragic albeit joking suggestion.
