Man On The Run: Paul McCartney documentary delves into the post-Beatles era 

Paul McCartney was 27 when The Beatles broke up. A new film traces what he did next 

Paul and Linda McCartney take a ferry across the Mersey when Wings were in Liverpool to play a gig.  

After the official break-up of The Beatles in 1970, Paul McCartney was at a loose end, unsure how to follow one of Britain’s biggest bands and reluctant to be the boss of his own solo career or of a new band.

The then 27-year-old moved to a farm in Scotland shortly after the split, where he recorded his debut solo album, McCartney, and Ram (1971), a collaborative album with his late wife, Linda McCartney, which was critically panned at the time but in recent years has been seen as highly influential and pioneering for its indie pop sound.
