This may be well known by many of you, but being a southern softie, 'twas news to me: Paul is not the only 'musician' in his family. His brother Peter was a member of the band The Scaffold, perhaps most famous for writing Lily The Pink, and worked along side the likes of Elton John and Jimi Hendrix!

You taking the Michael?

Mike McGear/McCartney, not Peter (though that is his first name and Michael the second), is the local hero. Now a photographer, cartoonist, author, musician, performer https://www.facebook.com/myWeirdos

Lovely recent interview with John Gorman:

And as to the Scaffold you will remember John Gorman from Tiswas and The Bucket of Water Song, while Roger McGough is still a poet and presents Poetry Please on R4
