Sean is joined by very special guest Philip Norman - novelist, legendary journalist and Beatles biographer - who has written comprehensive biographies on both Paul McCartney and John Lennon, as well as Elton John, Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton and many more.

With Philip\u2019s deep knowledge on all things Beatles, we discuss the periods around Paul\u2019s solo records - McCartney I (1970) and McCartney II (1980) - in anticipation of a third instalment (McCartney III, of course) which arrives in December 2020.

Philip talks about meeting The Beatles backstage back in the \u201860s, how he managed to get McCartney\u2019s approval to write his biography despite his famed \u2018anti-Paul\u2019 stance and much more.\xa0
