Posted December 7, 201014 yr Sir Paul McCartney has confirmed two very special British shows just before Christmas. The Beatles loved Christmas. The band hold the joint record for the most consecutive Christmas number ones, smashing three singles to the top spot at the peak of Beatlemania. Alongside this, the band released annual fan club singles which contained knockabout jingles and plenty of wacky humour. Since their split, the individual members have created their own individual festive soundtracks. Paul McCartney has released two golden Christmas hits, including the hugely popular 'Mull Of Kintyre'. Later releasing 'Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time' it seems that December 25th is a big day in the McCartney household. Nut roast, songs by the fire... With that in mind, Paul McCartney has arranged two very special festive shows. The Beatles legend is set to play some Christmas shows, with dates in London and Liverpool being announced for later this year. Taking place just hours before the big day, the shows are small by McCartney's stadium standards. The London show takes place in the HMV Apollo Hammersmith, while the Beatle has decided to use Liverpool's O2 Academy venue. Both are considerably smaller than his summer shows, which included dates in Scotland's Hampden Stadium. Set to have a wonderful Christmas time, Paul McCartney has promised two special shows containing classics, lesser heard material and of course a few festive favourites. Tickets are set to go on sale from 9am tomorrow (December 8th).
