MACCA: THE CONCERT

ONE of history's most celebrated musicians is the focus of a new stage show, which is heading to Barrow in October.

Macca: The Concert, starring West End leading man Emanuele Angeletti as Paul McCartney, will hit the stage at The Forum on Saturday October 28.

In the first show of it’s kind to tour UK and European theatres, Macca: The Concert is a career-spanning musical journey covering McCartney’s entire solo career from 1970 to 2016. It features an acclaimed West End cast and using state of the art visual media projection throughout.

The first half of the show is a recreation of the acclaimed Wings Over The World 1975-76 concert tour, complete with authentic costumes, staging and production.



The second half of the production showcases all of McCartney’s solo hits, along with a selection of Beatles favourites.

Emanuele Angeletti has been performing as McCartney since 2000 as a member of acclaimed Italian Beatles band The Apple Pies, who made numerous TV appearances along with concert tours all over Europe.

In September 2012, he opened the West End musical Let It Be at the Prince of Wales Theatre, in London, and has since been involved in several Let It Be tours, including UK and Ireland, Germany, Japan and Singapore.

Emanuele plays piano, bass and guitar and although a natural right-hander, taught himself to play left-handed bass for authenticity.

He is joined on this tour by fellow Let It Be cast members John Brosnan and Luke Roberts, along with a supporting cast of acclaimed touring musicians, as they perform hits such as Live and Let Die, No More Lonely Nights and Band on the Run.



Macca: The Concert comes to The Forum on October 28, at 7.30pm, and tickets are available from the venue's box office.
