We also looked back at some photography highlights of 2021, and took followers on Instagram (virtually) along to the British Library exhibition Paul McCartney: The Lyrics. And, on 27th January, we found out that The Lyrics is nominated for ‘Best Music Book’ at the 2022 NME awards! Find out more and see the full list of nominees here.
Sadly, December saw the passing of broadcasting legend and Paul’s fellow Liverpudlian friend Janice Long. Read his tribute to the ‘great Scouse girl’ here. Later in January, Paul ‘raised his paw’ with Animals Asia and took the Moon Bear Pledge, standing with others in the global movement to end bear bile farming in Vietnam: find out more here. Paul also shared a photo of himself and his daughter Mary cooking in the kitchen, promoting the second season of Mary McCartney Serves It Up on Discovery Plus. Check out all episodes here, and look out for Paul’s famous Maccarita recipe!
With every New Year comes wellness goals, resolutions and a time to reflect on the past with a fresh new perspective. So for the first 'Sticking Out Of My Back Pocket' playlist of 2022 we're listening to Paul's music from a different viewpoint, with alternative versions of his songs. Listen to the playlist here.
