Mike McCartney heads out on first tour in 42 years

What do you do when your big brother (Sir Paul or ‘R Kid’ to Mike) has taken over the world with his band the Beatles? How do you follow that? That was Mike McCartney’s problem back in the Sixties. The answer he came up with was to change his name to Mike McGear, form his own band Scaffold, and move into the Satire and Comedy field. Hit records and TV series followed before Mike turned his back on showbiz to return to his first love photography, with his work being acclaimed by exhibitions at the Smithsonian Institute in the US and Britain’s National Portrait Gallery.
But now Mike McGear McCartney is back in the Entertainment world with a hilarious and nostalgic one-man show – SEX, DRUGS & ROCK ‘N’ ROLL (I WISH!) - chronicling his life as seen through the photos he’s taken along the way. The first leg of the tour kicks off across the UK from March 2014.
