The birthplace of The Beatles will become a place to support a new generation of talent<\/h3>\n

Paul McCartney is opening his childhood home for unsigned artists to write, perform, and gain inspiration. The home is located at 20 Forthlin Road in Liverpool, and is now owned by the National Trust. It’s where John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote hits including I Saw Her Standing There<\/em> and When I’m 64<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Backed by Paul McCartney’s brother Mike, The Forthlin Sessions<\/a> initiative will see artists selected by local partners and Mike to write music at the same place where John and Paul molded their songwriting club. The opportunity is open to any unsigned, UK-based music artist aged over 18. The resulting sessions will be recorded and publicized. <\/p>\n

Earlier this month, The Trust<\/a> announced the initiative will allow budding artists to visit, write, and perform at the exact same spots where roughly 30 of the world’s most famous songs were written and rehearsed—Love Me Do<\/em>, I Saw Her Standing There<\/em>, Hold Me<\/em> Tight<\/em>, I’ll Follow The Sun<\/em> and When I’m 64<\/em>. It is also where Paul wrote his first-ever song, I Lost My Little Girl<\/em>.<\/p>\n
