Pupils make last-minute dash for ex-Beatle's home concert

There are some last-minute bookings which are impossible to refuse.And when the call comes from an ex-Beatle and knight of the realm, you'll pull out all the stops to make sure it comes together.The Loretto School Pipe Band got a call asking them to appear alongside Sir Paul McCartney – with just four days' notice.The band were specifically sought out by Sir Paul's director of music to perform at his homecoming concert at Liverpool's Echo Arena on Tuesday night.Pipe Major Colin Pryde received the call while he was in the middle of teaching at the Musselburgh school last week, asking if the band could join Sir Paul on stage for his performance of Mull of Kintyre.
