Jun: ilikemusic because... music can convey a mood, enhance a mood or change a mood. Music can be used to inspire and the artform is simple yet complicated. It's fun to listen to and even more fun to create and perform. It speaks when just a simple word can't. It's a blessing!!
James Blunt: ilikemusic because... conversation is so limited. It’s the best form of expression we have.
Joker21SRB: ilikemusic because... It helps me relax and feel good. I can't imagine a day with no music
Jo Whiley: ilikemusic because... It makes me laugh and it makes my cry and it gets me out of a stress if I’m in a stress, and, if I’m in a good place then it will make me in a better place. It’s all about the emotion, it’s all about the feeling where music takes you to and what affect it has on you.
Steve, Hard-Fi: ilikemusic because... Life is not worth living without it. Everything else could disappear, but music is the one thing that always remains with me throughout my entire life.
Sarah: ilikemusic because... i feel like all my problems just melt away
Ciarran, The Feeling: ilikemusic because... I find it constantly inspiring and it’s a joy to listen to and a joy to play; it really is a huge part of my life.
gpm100: ilikemusic because... I just do!!!!!
Anastasia: ilikemusic because... It makes your feelings tangible - makes them into sounds and words - and makes you realise that you are not alone. It's the collective mind of the human race.
Sir Paul is in an ebullient mood and rocks young and old alike in the tiny ICA, declaring the gig as being like a party and inviting us back to his place afterwards.
In turns we are rocked and rolled with authentic 50's rock 'n' roll played with the gusto of a 21 year old and treated to Wings-era 70's stomp-rock as we punch the air and shout "Jet!"
Included even is the odd solo number from the 80's (opener 'Coming Up' and his touching 1982 tribute to John Lennon 'Here Today') and a smattering of tracks from new album 'Memory Almost Full', including the perky new single 'Dance Tonight'.
But the biggest treat was the liberal dose of Beatles tracks; 'Back in the USSR', 'Let It Be' and 'Lady Madonna', among others. Sir Paul even conducts the crowd in the singalong to 'Hey Jude's' long refrain. I am in heaven.
On the way out I bump into an equally ecstatic Emily Eavis and we discuss this year's Glastonbury and Macca's performance there in 2004.
How bizarre that an evening which ended with the great Sir Paul McCartney of the Beatles singing 'Saw Her Standing There' should begin with 'Consider Yourself at Home' from Oliver as sung by a group of nine year olds.
As I arrive home late but elated, I enthuse about what a fantastic night it was, how brilliant the songs were, how honoured I was to witness such an unbelievable performance.
"Hmm," comes the sleepy reply, "and how was the Paul McCartney gig?"
