Step back in time to 1974 and witness the magic of Paul McCartney and Wings: One Hand Clapping…
Sir Paul McCartney:
“It’s so great to look back on that period and see the little live show we did. We made a pretty good noise actually! It was a great time for the band, we started to have success with Wings, which had been a long time coming.”
The film, to air on Sky Arts this Boxing Day, offers an intimate behind-the-scenes look at the 1974 Abbey Road recording sessions, featuring footage of solo acoustic performance by Paul McCartney previously unreleased in full. One Hand Clapping was recorded on video tape, capturing the look and feel of the time, and features rare footage, interviews with the band, and insights from the creative team.
Audiences can re-live iconic Wings hits, a reimagined Beatles classic, and captivating performances, all on Sky Arts.
Phil Edgar-Jones, Executive Director of Unscripted Originals at Sky:
“Paul McCartney’s Wings never really get the credit they deserve… so we’re excited to bring you this brilliant, filmed insight into the band’s creative process. Another treat for the Sky Arts audience this Christmas.”

In other music news from Sky Arts the feature-length documentary blur: To The End plus blur Live at Wembley Stadium will both air exclusively on 28 December. The documentary follows the unique relationship of four friends – and bandmates of three decades – Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree as they came together in early 2023 to record new songs ahead of their sold-out, first ever shows at London’s Wembley Stadium in July last summer.
Featuring performances of their most iconic, much-loved songs, footage of the band in the studio and life on the road, blur: To The End is an intimate moment in time with this most enduring of English bands, who have been at the heart of British cultural life and influence for over three decades.
Live at Wembley Stadium is a collection of songs captured across two unforgettable nights last summer – the biggest shows of the band’s 30+ year career to date – which saw the band perform to over 150,000 fans at Wembley Stadium, blur’s first time ever to play the iconic London venue.
