Welcome to Nothing Israel a podcast about the Beatles.

Everybody thinks they know the Beatles.

How much do we really know?

My name is Jason Carty. My name is Steven Cockcroft. And we're live on tape from Dublin and

Belfast and also from Los Angeles, because today we are joined by the one and only Mr. Lawrence Tuber.

Hello, Lawrence. Hello there. Now, chances are, folks, if you're listening to this podcast,

you already know who Lawrence Juber is, being a guitarist, of course, in the last iteration of Wings.

But he has a career that predates and postdates that particular piece of employment after graduating

when Goldsmith's college.

He was already a seasoned session professional when he got tapped on the shoulder to join Wings in 1978.

And after the band, he has continued to work his music in every medium possible, TV,

films, theatre, and in the 21st century, he has released a series of instrumental guitar records that have managed to include volumes of reinterpretations, Beatles Classics, and one of Wings reinterpretations to boot.

He's also an author with a fantastic photographic biography, Guitar with Wings, which is a unique behind-the-scenes view of his time in the band.

And we are delighted to have him with us here today. Thank you for joining us.

I'm happy to be here.

Whenever we, you know, have somebody talking to us, we always start with the, the barn door question of,

you know, first exposure to Beatles music or, you know, the attitude of the band.

And it seems looking at your biography, you know, you were just

the right age to actually have some kind of impact from that music. Oh, I was certainly the

right age. I mean, um, 1963 was, of course, you know, this kind of growing wave of beetle mania in England.

And I started playing guitar in November 1963 on my 11th birthday.

And it was right after they did the command performance, you know, the Rack and the Jewelry show.
