   Inside Paul McCartney's Roundhouse Theatre Event: In Conversation with Harry of The Inner Light Podcast

   Harry, Co-Host of the Inner Light Podcast, joins host Alice to discuss his experience at Paul McCartney’s Roundhouse Theatre ‘In Conversation’ Night in London and his opinion of ‘The Boys of Dungeon Lane’. The event took place on June 10, 2026. Harry recounts the stressful ticket-buying process, describes the venue’s intimate setup and living-room staging, and compares this candid, less-structured format to seeing McCartney in concert. They both share favorite tracks from McCartney’s new album The Boys of Dungeon Lane and discuss how the event played the album track-by-track with McCartney reacting. Harry relays song specific anecdotes McCartney gave (including the album title story, inspiration for several songs, and studio details), mentions a fan meetup and postcards from McCartney’s team, and concludes with his main takeaway. 00:00 Put On The Spot 00:19 Podcast Welcome Notes 01:42 Meet Harry 01:46 Heatwave Small Talk 03:14 Paul Event Setup 03:38 Ticket Stress Story 04:33 Roundhouse Atmosphere 07:10 Concert Versus Conversation 09:09 Paul Unfiltered Moments 11:25 Favorite Album Tracks 14:01 Flaming Pie Comparison 16:44 Fan Meetup And Postcards 19:31 In Line Stories 20:17 Interview Surprise 21:42 Seats and Ticket Chaos 23:17 Inside the Roundhouse Vibe 23:45 Track Stories Begin 27:10 Mugging Tale and Origins 28:39 Song Meanings 37:07 Big Takeaway and Dylan 39:25 What I'd Tell Paul 40:27 Listening Party and Farewell 41:36 Podcast Wrap Up Thank you so much for listening!

   Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Behind the Scenes: Andy Leach (head of exhibit) on the new Paul McCartney and Wings Exhibit

   Inside the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum's New Paul McCartney & Wings Exhibit with Head of the Exhibit, Andy Leach Host Alice welcomes listeners to the Rock and Roll Field Trip Podcast and interviews Andy Leach, Senior Director of Museum and Archival Collections at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, about the new Paul McCartney and Wings exhibit in Cleveland. Leach describes founding the museum’s library and archives, the extensive collaboration with Paul’s MPL team, and how a casual May 2023 meeting at 1 Soho Square evolved into the first major museum exhibition on Wings and the largest public display of McCartney’s personal artifacts. He explains selecting items such as instruments, clothing, handwritten lyrics, tour memorabilia, and imagery, and recounts coordinating with former Wings members for additional artifacts. Leach highlights the exhibit’s “Heart of the Country” kitchen scene and Linda McCartney’s camera, emphasizing Linda’s underappreciated role in Wings’ sound, aesthetics, and photography, and discusses professional archival handling and the exhibit’s planned run through at least May 2027. 00:00 Podcast Welcome 01:31 Meet Andy Leach 01:59 Opening Night Highlights 04:59 How the Exhibit Began 08:35 Selecting Artifacts 13:17 Linda and Heart of Country 18:42 Archivist vs Fan Mode 23:38 Will Paul Visit 26:41 Wrap Up Email us at: rocknrollfieldtrip@yahoo.com (rocknrollfieldtrip@yahoo.com) Mentioned in this episode: Paul McCartney and Wings Exhibit https://rockhall.com/exhibitions/paul-mccartney-and-wings/ (https://rockhall.com/exhibitions/paul-mccartney-and-wings/) Andy Leach 's Substack Article on the Exhibit https://rockandrollhalloffame.substack.com/p/growing-wings-the-making-of-a-paul (https://rockandrollhalloffame.substack.com/p/growing-wings-the-making-of-a-paul) Thanks for listening!
