Beatles Beginnings | At home with Mike McCartney

National Trust Podcast

If you stumble upon 20 Forthlin Road, without knowing its history, you may assume it’s an unremarkable house, on an unremarkable suburban street. But it’s when you meet its former resident you realise, there’s much to this house than meets the eye.
Producer and presenter Sean Douglas heads to Liverpool to meet the brother of Beatle, Paul McCartney.
Now a photographer and visual artist, Mike McCartney recalls what it was like growing up in a creative household and relives tales from their childhood.
