- Photographer and former Scaffold and Grimms comedy turn Mike “McGear” McCartney unearths newspaper cuttings, theatre programmes and record sleeves amassed in his giddy accent of Mount Showbiz. Among the highlights … parties at Forthlin Road, why the Lord Chamberlain censored his script, the “Fresh Liver” sleeve, the gag Des O’Connor stole from Cilla (who nicked it from the Scaffold), the water-bombing of Peter Sissons, the Liverpool One Fat Lady Non-Electric Show, ‘60s party invites, the Stones versus MC Escher and a rare snap of the Quarrymen at cousin Ian’s wedding.

Mike has had such a fantastic life and his association with his brother's little beat combo just seems to be one of many boxes of memories that he is bubbling over to talk about. What an amazing guy. Another great Word In Your Ear episode.
What a great bloke, and thank the stars he had the foresight of a curator even in the 1950s. PM is quite the archivist himself, but MM has outdone our kid here.
Mike comes across as a pleasant friendly soul who enjoys his life. Loved this.
Hi guys, I love Mike McCartney and I loved LILLY THE PINK, Mike is so loveable and such an interesting man, loved the Peter Sissons story, both the McCartney boys are just the best, I love them both, Mikes memory is fantastic, I could listen to him for hours, thanks guys, brilliant,
Thanks for this. Mike is always entertaining.
Amazing feat not talking about the elephant in the room until eighteen minutes in “Our kids band”
Think Mike would have definitely remembered his very first camera…
The mother Mary picture is amazing and probably would have been quite appropriate for the Let It Be single artwork.
Always thought Mike looked such a cool dude in the late 60s and made his own way which must have been a tricky thing considering.
Lovely interview, thanks guys😎👌
I lived in blackrod avenue in Speke and our back garden backed on to McCartney’s . They didn’t live there at the time . Mrs Carney did . “Stocko “ Stockton wood school is where we would play amongst other places like Speke hall or oggy shore …..
Do you remember and Liverpool Lou ,loved both hits .
marvelous bit of social history. Thanks again Mark and David
My maternal grandmothers maiden name was Lily Pink...I am in my seventies and never knew her...loved this vid!
What a wonderful excellent podcast, my favourite thus far, could of easily listened to another 2 hours worth.
Mike is so dry and still irreverent, much more open than his brother, great stories and I would presume the best are the untold ones!
Unique too, who today with a mega star older sibling would change their name in order NOT cash in on any connection, Class.
You should have him back on to share the stories of recording with Hendrix etal, priceless.
I thought he was going to hold up a bottle of pepto bismol.
Another brilliant interview, Mike is a very interesting man, real gem!
Great stuff again gentlemen. The "McGear" solo album is an outstanding record.
Herr Michael, I was sat next to your table in a NYC Soho Chinese restaurant im Jahr 1987. I recall overhearing you extol the superior virtue of cold Japanese sake over warm. Ye also regaled your table with tales of the best clubs from back “in the day”.
Wonderful - thank you ..
I WANT THAT ALBUM! Imagine having the same agent as Paul Robeson. Epic!
Great talk!!
I really appreciate your podcasts, always so very entertaining, if you don't mind a suggestion, perhaps you could do one about the longevity of the stranglers
There's a 1965 postmark on the envelope but the Billy Graham invitation was '67, so the two don’t actually belong together. Also, the Lord Chamberlain’s censorship of stage plays didn't extend to telly, so had nothing to do with Bill Cotton stopping the video tape. Again, then, two lovely stories ... but they don’t belong together.
Great stories. Seems Mike has the same trouble with chronology that his brother does.
...Mike Macca ...a gentle - man . Have you got the 'Live 8' book from 2005 , fulla fab fotoz taken with his Nikon Coolpix ?
Wonderful stuff as usual. What a great guest. Did the 'our kid' he refers to also go on to have a career in light entertainment? How amazing would it be to have him on and see if he has held on to any interesting artefacts?
I understand Ringo, John and Paul all saved so much memorbilia that it is all secured at various large storage centre's around the world.
Brilliant vid, probably one of the very best (they are all great though).. McGear is excellent... Nice one Mike
Wonder what will be done with all the photographs and mementos Mike has when he has gone.
I’d buy that album 💿 👍🏻
Its been remastered and is excellent the best 'Macca' LP he 'never' released!
Yeah Mike seems like a great bloke.
He had every six year old mispronouncing "most efficacious in every way."
