Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr attend Abbey Road documentary premiere
If These Walls Could Sing will be available to stream from 6th January 2023 via Disney+.
Legendary Beatles’ members Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney were among last night’s audience members of the new documentary on iconic recording studio, Abbey Road.
If These Walls Could Sing, which is directed by Pauls’s daughter, Mary, has debuted as the world’s "first feature-length documentary" on the iconic recording venue.
The Beatles are one of many world-renowned artists to have utilised the studio, where they recorded most of their music. Their 11th album Abbey Road, was named after the venue, with the album’s cover becoming a popular tourist attraction, and countless fans having recreated the crossing photo over the years. Since then, the Abbey Road's zebra crossing was given Grade II-listed status in 2010.
The documentary which is being streamed via Disney+, explores the "breadth, diversity and ingenuity" of the studios across its nine decades of existence.
“Intimate interviews" revealing how "artists, producers, composers and the dedicated engineers and staff of Abbey Road all found their musical language and community, while vivid archive footage and session tapes give exclusive access to these famously private studios" are set to feature in the documentary.
Fans can look forward to special appearances by Paul, Ringo, Elton John, Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters, and Liam Gallagher- to name a few.
Accompanied by his wife Nancy Shevall, and daughter Stella, Paul McCartney was one attendee of the night’s star-studded event. Also in attendance were Spice Girl Melanie Chisholm, known as Mel C, singer Sharleen Spiteri and cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason.
Abbey Roads began its life as a recording studio in 1931 after Edward Elgar conducted a performance there. Over the years the studio has played recording host to some of the biggest names in the the industry such as Radiohead, Amy Winehouse and Adele.
If These Walls Could Sing will be available to stream from 6th January 2023 via Disney+.
