London
(ANI):
Sir
Paul
McCartney
has
admitted
that
he
still
gets
butterflies
in
his
stomach
–
when
he
plays
in
small
venues.
The
former
Beatle
says
that
playing
in
front
of
a
large
audience
doesn"t
bother
him
but
it"s
the
more
intimate
gigs
that
still
make
him
nervous,
reports
the
Telegraph.
Sir
Paul
-
due
to
play
the
Hard
Rock
Calling
event
in
Hyde
Park,
as
well
as
the
Isle
Of
Wight
Festival
in
June
said
in
an
interview
with
Absolute
Radio:
“I'll
tell
you
what
does
get
me
nervous,
when
you're
playing
to
small
groups
of
people.
If
it's
at
all
kind
of
corporate
-
so
in
other
words,
charity
dos
-
you
don't
know
who
you've
got
in
the
audience."
“It
can
be
people
who
really
don't
like
rock
and
roll,
and
you're
sitting
there
going
Yeah,
we're
going
to
have
a
great
time
tonight'
and
they're
just
chatting
to
each
other.
You
know,
Well
I
think
that
was
a
great
deal,
how's
your
bank?" I
sort
of
turn
round
to
the
band
and
give
a
look
which
says
We're
working,
we're
going
to
have
to
work
this
one,
you
know,
there's
no
relaxing."
Sir
Paul
told
DJ
Geoff
Lloyd
that
he
once
almost
gave
up
before
Beatles
were
due
to
play
at
the
NME
pollwinners
concert
in
the
1960s,
but
now
he
has
no
such
problem
with
massive
shows.
“I
don't
get
that
kind
of
nervous,
because
if
the
tickets
sell
really
well,
you
get
an
idea
that
these
people
really
want
to
come
and
see
you.
And
I
kind
of
feel
that
about
the
people
who
come
and
see
me,
we're
sort
of
mates.
We
get
this
kind
of
thing
going,
so
I
don't
feel
too
bad."
