NME.com reports:

Paul McCartney has revealed he would like to produce The Wombats.

Admitting he hasn’t produced much recently, the former Beatlesuggested that the fellow Scousers may not want to work with him.

Speaking to BBC 6Music,McCartney said: “I don’t do much production now but it might be very tempting [to work with The Wombats]. I’m not sure they would want me. I had one of the guys from The Wombats in one of my classes. It was great. Now years later they’re doing great.”

The singer also revealed which current bands he rates, saying: “I like Radiohead - they’re really cool. I think they’re on it. Innovative. The Zutons, The Killers, The Wombats. There are a lot of good people around.”

McCartney will play at Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium on June 1 alongside Kaiser Cheifs and The Zutons - the show is part of the celebrations for the city’s status as European Capital Of Culture.

The former Beatle explained he’ll be performing the big hits, but revealed he’s “got a couple of surprises for Liverpool”

We meet with various music industry peeps. They were cool, enthusiastic music-lovers all around, not the stereotypical, MBA-label execs you hear about.

We caught up with The Wombats at their sold-out, 5,000-person Brixton Academy show (pictures on The Wombats’ page). This was ace. The show’s afterparty was held at The Windmill, which holds maybe 150 people, and was where The Wombats played a year ago.

To see The Wombats at Brixton Academy and pow wow with other music lovers. We are…excited.
