Give Ireland Back To The Irish
Officially appears on Give Ireland Back To The Irish
In February 1972, John Lennon and Yoko Ono sent a letter to Paul and Linda McCartney, inviting Wings to participate in a charity concert, along with the Plastic Ono Band and The Rolling Stones, to support Ireland. The letter was revealed and published in the hardcover book of the “Power To The People” deluxe boxset, released in October 10, 2025.
Right on brothers and sister!
Now what do we do with “The Luck of the Irish”!? and “Sunday Bloody Sunday”!?
Would you do a Madison Square qds. with Wings – Plastic Ono + Stones?! – we’ve already talked to Mick!! (it’s easy)
also in three weeks actually go to Ireland (again possibly with Stones!) Let’s forget our past and save some people!
Good luck anyway, we’re proud of you – love Sony+Cher O’Lennon.P.S. No A.K [presumable Allen Klein] at MSG if it’s uncool.
