Tom Holland

Hello everyone, it's Tom here with news of a Rest is History special.

I am interviewing none other than the great, the one and only Paul McCartney.

He has a new album out, The Boys of Dungeon Lane.

Lots of the songs on that album are about his early years growing up in Liverpool

So I'm talking to him about that, about the context, the history that gave rise to the Beatles.

And we have a world exclusive here because one of the songs from that album, Salesman Saint, will be featuring in the interview.

So incredibly exciting.

Enjoy the song.

Enjoy the interview.

This episode is brought to you by Lloyd's which has been backing British ambition for over 250 years.

Now when you think about it every dynasty in history has boiled down to two important elements.

Aspiration

and action.

And a classic example of this from British history, the rise of the House of Wessex, the family of Alfred the Great and his heirs, who between them established the United Kingdom of England.

Based on Lloyd's internal customer data from March 2026.

Hello everyone and welcome to The Rest is History.

And obviously on this show we have talked about all kinds of world historical figures.

But today is a first because it's the first time on the show that I will actually be talking to a world historical figure.

And this is a man who is the greatest composer of the 20th century.

With the Beatles, he was a lightning rod for one of the most transformative decades in modern history.
