Mark Ronson and Paul McCartney

Would you play a song by Sir Paul McCartney at Macca's own wedding ?

Mark Ronson did, and it worked a treat as he performed a DJ set as the Beatles legend tied the knot to Nancy Shevell three years ago.

Speaking about the relatively intimate ceremony, the star - who produced two tracks on Macca's album New in 2013 - insisted his decision to play Band on the Run by Wings went down well.



He told Billboard magazine: "It was an intimate, family event. I started at midnight and no one would leave until five in the morning.

"Ronnie Wood was on the dancefloor, so I played [The Faces'] Ohh La La. And Band on the Run got a good response."

While Mark might be used to buddying up with superstars, Fleur East is one star who perhaps hasn't made the best first impression.

The X Factor runner-up covered the Uptown Funk - the DJ's collaboration with Bruno Mars - on the talent show, and her performance led to him having to rush the release.

Mark wasn't best pleased as Fleur's was going to come out before the original song - but he didn't want to put it out so soon.

He previously told NME magazine: "I realised this girl's cover is going to come out before our own ... we rushed it."
