“It’s so great to look back on that period and see the little live show we did,” McCartney shared in a statement. “We made a pretty good noise actually! It was a great time for the band, we started to have success with Wings, which had been a long time coming.”
One Hand Clapping chronicled a transformative period in Wings’ history, when they had recently left Nashville and debuted a new lineup after the unexpected departures of Denny Seiwill and Henry McCullough. The version of Wings that plays on One Hand Clapping includes: McCartney and his late wife Linda; Denny Lain; guitarist Jimmy McCulloch; and drummer Geoff Britton. Rounding out the studio crew was orchestral arranger Del Newman and the saxophonist Howie Casey, who went on to join the Wings touring band.
Tickets for the film go on sale August 16th.
