This is actually not Paul on vocals, but rather drums! \n\nMcCartney switched roles with guitarist Hamish Stuart for this performance, saying: \n\"I wanted Hamish to do something, and during a break in jams we often swap around instruments – I get on drums and Hamish might start doing ‘Ain’t No Sunshine’. It was good fun, doing it on Unplugged. Any excuse to be loose, as I said before.\n\nI like playing drums, I have a reasonable feel, though I’m not a good technical drummer. But as Elvis Costello told me recently, not many people have got feel. So I thought, right then, I’ll play on telly!\"","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"}
