The performance, details of which have only been released this morning, will inevitably trigger a
desperate scramble for tickets.

The former Beatle will play songs from his new album as well as from his back catalogue at the Electric Ballroom in Camden in front of less
than 1,000 fans.

The tickets, which are free, were only made available from noon today on a first come, first served basis from the box office in Camden High
Street. Photo ID will be needed to collect the tickets.

The Evening Standard has 10 pairs to give away.

The free concert coincides with the general release of Memory Almost Full, Sir Paul's new album and the first to go out on the label Hear
Music, a joint venture between Starbucks, the entertainment arm of the coffee chain, and Concord Music Group.

Sir Paul's spokesman said today: "He is used to playing in front of as many as 500,000 people so it's very exciting to be playing a very exclusive, intimate show. I don't know the last time he did something like this. He is normally used to big arenas or stadia."

Details of the tickets are published right and also on Sir Paul's website, www.paulmccartney.com.
