(5/2/2008) Sir Paul McCartney told the Liverpool Echo his return this week for a hometown performance of "Ecce Cor Meum" is "revenge." “There is no better place for me to hold this concert than in Liverpool where I’ll also get to invite my family. I have a lot of connections with the cathedral, having gone there as a kid and applied to join the choir. I got turned down, so this is my revenge trip." He said working with the Liverpool residents who made up the choir and orchestra was unique. “One of the things I particularly like about the Liverpool choir is that they are very committed. You get people from all walks of life, so I love the humanity of it. You get a plumber standing next to a surgeon, so it’s a great mix. And that’s something I’m interested in and have always liked. As on a train you find yourself next to someone who could be anyone. And it’s like that in a choir. I love this coming together of various types of people." He also gave a mini-preview of his upcoming Liverpool concert in June. "I’m doing a decent length of songs. ... I know we’ve also got a few guests. But I’m not sure of exactly who. It’s still a bit up in the air so I wouldn’t get anybody’s hopes up. It’s going to be interesting. ... But it is basically my tribute to Liverpool."
