New McCartney book claims cooperation from Kintyre locals

Postby Mary G » Sun Oct 12, 2008 10:38 am

A journalist - Ken McNab - has written a book called The Beatles in Scotland, and "claims to have evidence from eyewitnesses and locals who spent time with McCartney during his time in Kintyre", says the Sunday Times today.

I find this a bit surprising because over the years most journalists who reached the town, looking for McCartney stories and scandal, have gone away empty-handed. It would be interesting to know if anyone came across this guy, Ken McNab, and 'coughed up' for him ... or whether this was more of an exercise in creative writing ;-)
