We’ve been wanting to collaborate on something for a while now and a stripped down version of the new Flyte song ‘Tough Love’ sang with all of us together round Will’s window table seemed like a beautiful opportunity xx
Just like that, our second record is birthed into the world 💐✨😭. We are really are proud of this record, we put our entire world into it. We hope it can now live safely with all of you. Happy album day everyone! All our love, Flyte x
Imagine a world where bands were charting again instead of Lady Gaga.
Seriously how much of a boring, non thing would it be if Gaga won this. Head over to
@SportsTeam_
and get their record for heavens sake
He closed proceedings with the remainder of the Abbey Road medley- starting at Golden Slumbers and going right on through to ‘The End’. It was an immaculate way to end. If these shows truly are the finale of his live career, I think he’s smashed it.

‘This is Really Going to Hurt’ our new album is ready to pre-order now! It’s a story of heartbreak and resolve and we can’t wait for it to be in your hands and ears. The final single Under the Skin is now out for all to hear. PLUS a new music video is premiering live at midday at
We’ve got a top 10 album ✨ (7 to be exact). Not entirely sure how that happened but it must be something to do with you all buying so many vinyls and generally being the best supporters of music a lowly band could hope for. Oh, and we’re number one in the cassette charts haha.
The set culminated in a ‘Get Back’ ‘Let it Be’, ‘Hey Jude’ situation. Songs for the universe, sung in a tiny venue in Somerset, bucket list is now full, we all exuded.
#PaulMcCartney
We’d decided we were going to do Fleet Foxes earlier that day and more importantly we needed a good natural reverb like back in the good old days of 2016 when we would sing together in car parks and tunnels etc. So we asked the audience during our show if anyone knew of a good...
He told that story about Hendrix covering Sgt. Pep two days after its release, made a funny about Clapton and then dove into ‘Getting Better’. Which was when my brain mushed a little, literally hand on heart singing every word with the man who wrote it standing three metres away
The UK's best-selling cassette this week? That would be
@Flyteband
's new album This Is Really Going To Hurt! The record also lands in the Official Vinyl Albums Chart Top 10:
Blackbird on his own, Lady Madonna on piano with band and horn section. Let Me Roll It, spanking that riff on his Les Paul. It was all a bit fucking ideal.
#PaulMcCartney
It’s with a deep sadness that we announce Sam’s departure from the band. He is a great friend and an unbelievably talented human being and he will be missed in so many ways. Good luck Sam, we love you!
Then ‘Helter Skelter’, doubling down on the fuck you it’s the White Album energy. He and I did for a brief moment, sing a chorus looking into each other’s eyes. Did I subsequently cry out of every orifice? No, I held it together, like a gentleman.
#PaulMcCartney
Some more from Saturday. People from all over London, socially distancing properly. All in all being fucking chill. We CAN gig like this if no one is a dick about it. Which apparently our audiences are very good at not being. So... let’s do more
A new song we’ve been fiddling with. I’m not a football person and Nick is a Liverpool fan- this was more an exercise in multiple meaning, we wrote a love song, then a London song, then a football song, then a football violence song, cut them up, then wove them together
We’ve missed you. How are you all? There’s too much to say in one go, so for now we just want to let you know we have a show in London in TWO WEEKS. It’ll be a chance to hear new music before any of it is officially released so get on those tickets quick tomorrow, link in bio x
The people have spoken. ‘Night man’ is our Philadelphia cover. Although technically it’s ‘Day Man’ from the musical ‘The Night Man Cometh’. Apologies to all those who don’t watch ‘Always Sunny’. We’re in Washington DC today, any suggestions?
There’s so much music we’re dying to share with you and we’re going to start tomorrow at midnight with a song called White Roses. Really proud of this one x
He came onstage with a 5 piece band. Hofner bass in tow, no in ear monitors, no screens, just a rock band. Opened with ‘I Wanna Be Your Man’.
#PaulMcCartney
The crowd was slow to fully engage initially, I think because it was an actual struggle for most to fully concede they were participating in reality.
#PaulMcCartney
Then “for the first time in the UK” he busted out the medley from the 2nd side of Abbey Road. He paused after ‘She Came in Through the Bathroom Window’ having already missed out John’s ‘Mean Mr Mustard’ and ‘Polythene Pam’, then launched into a string of hits.
#PaulMcCartney
Look it’s a press shot. Amazed at how much we still love each other despite spending every hour of every waking day together. Missing Sam. But this final run in the studio has been the most honest and important creative time in our lives. Can’t wait for you to hear this album
One tiny thing though, if he doesn’t want his die hard fans whispering ‘coward’ whilst shaking an ironic fist in the air, he should play ‘Her Majesty’ before truly being allowed to leave the stage.
#PaulMcCartney
Saw Love Actually last night at the cinema and all the ironic reasons for liking it have now morphed into just actually loving it and thinking it's maybe one of the best films ever made. There were tears, there was laughter, there was Christmas.
A new song for December. Just a guitar and our three voices this time. Will wrote this as a wee 14 year old boy but somehow it only made sense to release it now, at the end of this truly bizarre year. Love you all very much. They say we’re going to have some snow. And a vaccine.
Will, Jess and Millie backstage before our show in Victoria Park. We hadn’t sung this together since it was recorded back in 2019, but we remembered it like it was yesterday- this one run through was all the rehearsal we needed
@thestaves
✨IT’S OUT✨ This song is about breaking up with a friend. The three of us bashed through it very late at night and there was much catharsis. It’s the third and by no means final single from this looming album. Enjoy the multiple guitar solos. Observe baby Jon in his Arsenal tee
I thought he would lower the keys of the songs to help his voice out but as he cracked into ‘Got to Get You Into My Life’ he was staying strong with the OG key like a soldier.
#PaulMcCartney
Archie, Marry Me
Those crickets you hear at the beginning are real. They bled in through the open window late at night when we were doing the take
#timstwitterlisteningparty
The crowd and band fully locked once some ‘Ob-la-di,ob-la-da’ audience participation was called for. You could see Paul in eyes going “there you guys are thank fuck”
#PaulMcCartney
Ok so the guy checking us into our flight liked our band and upgraded us to premium. Can everyone who has friends working for airlines get them into us so this happens everytime. Thanks
So here is our cover of

Check out the video which will take you on a wonderful journey as you listen to all 16 minutes

“What do you bring to the table relationship-wise?”Oh, I bring the fleeting whisper of human existence and death’s remorseless scythe. But genuinely, thank you Love Island for using White Roses, always hoped a funeral song would be the one that made it🏝

I want her to be my mum and everyone’s mum and our prime minister and the president and in my band and my next door neighbour and her to hold my hand and for her to never ever go away
BREAKING: Jacinda Ardern has won a second term in office after her rival conceded in New Zealand's general election.
She's thanked voters "who trusted us to continue with leading New Zealand's recovery".
More on this breaking story:
Many moons ago, Nick and I wrote a song together that at the time felt too exposed, too raw. Back then we weren’t ready to do justice to a song like that. Well next week it finally gets to belong in the world- the 2nd single from this upcoming album and maybe our favourite
Here we are then, the first of many to come. White Roses is a song we made earlier this year with
@thestaves
lending their incredible voices. Hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it - link in bio x
💫‘I Still Believe in You’ is out now 💫It’s a song that’s very close to our hearts. Hopefully you relate to it and it becomes your new favourite song. Put it on in the car. Show your friends
