McCartney signs Irish bandleader!
Paul and Linda McCartney have signed Irish bandleader Percy Thrillington to McCartney Productions! It seems that, on a recent visit to Ireland, the McCartneys were approached by Thrillington about conducting instrumental versions of their music. His style appealed to them because it was “unusually flexible and inventive” and he was duly signed. Percy will release his first album, an instrumental of the “Ram” album, in the near future.
