Paul McCartney's House – How Surroundings Shape Music Visiting Paul McCartney’s childhood home in Liverpool really made me think about how much our surroundings shape the music we create. I live in Bristol – a city that often feels a bit chaotic, unorganised, even cluttered. You can see it in the streets and feel it in the air. That roughness, I believe, shows up in the music that comes from there – often deep, dark, experimental, like the sounds of Massive Attack or Tricky. Liverpool feels completely different. The streets are cleaner, there’s more green space, and the whole city feels more open and inviting. And you can hear that in the music. McCartney, like The Beatles, Cilla Black, or The La’s, created songs that are full of melody, emotion, and light. The music is accessible and warm – about life, love, and everyday things, but in a way that connects with everyone. My theory is that this kind of environment – calm, balanced, with a sense of order – inspires music that people want to sing together. Whereas more complex, messier cities like Bristol pull something more introspective and moody from their artists. McCartney’s house isn’t just where a famous musician grew up – it’s a reminder of how much a place can shape the sound that comes out of it.

Sono bastati sei minuti per battere, qualche giorno fa, all'asta la casa d'infanzia di Paul McCartney a Liverpool: un appassionato dei Beatles inglese, che ha preferito restare anonimo, ha battuto l'agguerrita concorrenza dall'estero e si è aggiudicato la casa per 150mila sterline, 50mila oltre la base d'asta e oltre il doppio del prezzo delle altre case della stessa strada. McCartney ha vissuto nella casa al 72 di Western Avenue a Speke per sei anni a partire dal 1947, quando aveva quattro anni. Il cantante ha dichiarato che é la prima casa dove si ricorda di avere vissuto e che ha molti bei ricordi degli anni passati nell'edificio, una classica casa popolare a schiera su due piani con tre camere da letto e un piccolo giardino. Quando Paul aveva dieci anni i genitori si erano trasferiti in una casa al numero 20 di Forthlin Road a Liverpool, che ora è un museo aperto al pubblico e gestito dal National Trust. L'asta, organizzata da Countrywide Property Auctions e dall'agenzia immobiliare Entwistle Green, si è tenuta nel Cavern Club, il leggendario locale che ha ospitato i primi concerti dei Beatles. “Siamo felici di avere venduto un pezzo importante della storia dei Beatles e di Liverpool, - ha detto Andrew Brown, managing director di Countrywide. – Siamo contenti anche perché tutte gli immobili dei Beatles che abbiamo venduto sono andati a veri appassionati dei Beatles, come è giusto che sia.” Nell'ottobre 2013 Countrywide aveva venduto la casa d'infanzia di John Lennon al numero 9 di Newcastle Road nel quartiere di Wavertree per 480mila sterline, oltre tre volte la base d'asta, mentre nell'ottobre 2014 la casa dove era cresciuto George Harrison al 26 di Upton Green a Speke era stata messa in vendita per 100mila sterline e poi battuta all'asta per 156mila sterline

To see the home of Paul McCartney's family was a wonderful moment for me being a Beatles fan since I was 11 way back in 1963 going back in September to go on the National trust tour which also includes John Lennon's Aunts house where he lived most of his younger life to top it all you get to go inside this is on Menlove avenue also the title of one of his albums

It was great to see how Paul spent a small period of his life. His story was fascinating. This was mainly down to the quality of the guide. She was excellent. No pictures can be taken inside which is a shame but I understand the reasoning. As it is quite small, not sure I need to go back but this is a MUST for all fans of the Beatles and John Lennon

One of Paul McCartneys childhood homes...Only visited as part of a Liverpool tour, hence I didnt go inside. According to the guides it's now a heritage site and accessible by the public. Closed when we went but still a cool thing to visit. Inside is not genuine but is of the period (50s), again; according to guides.
