Paul McCartney, iTunes Music Festival @ The ICA, London

My mum loves to regale me with tales of how, as a young woman living and working in Liverpool in the 1960s, she would go to the Cavern Club with my auntie at lunchtime for the cheap soup-and-a-roll. There, apparently, Priscilla White (née Cilla Black) would collect the coats at the door and they would sit and watch a fledgling Beatles play to a relatively empty club.
She comments on the how wild and messy the band were when they returned from Hamburg and how she even slow danced with each of the band at some point - a fact I still find difficult to truly comprehend - and has each of their autographs to prove it.
As a massive Beatles fan I still find it hard to listen to this without being a little bit sick in the back of my mouth with jealousy.
So, imagine my delight, when the Editor of ilikemusic.com rings me up at 3pm the day after my birthday and asks me if I'd like to attend Paul McCartney's intimate iTunes Music Festival gig that night at the ICA in London for 300 press and competition winners.
