Single Notes

‘Mull of Kintyre’ was recorded during another transitional period for Wings and features the core trio of Paul, Linda and Denny Laine along with the Campbeltown Pipe Band. It was a Christmas Number One single in the UK, and was the first single to sell over 2 million copies.

One day it occurred to me that there were no new Scottish songs; there were lots of great old songs that the bagpipe bands played, but nobody had written anything new. So, that was an opportunity to see whether I could. A new Scottish song written by a Sassenach? That would be fun
