LUCKY pupils have been given a once-in-a-lifetime chance to share the stage with Beatles legend Paul McCartney - after being given just two days notice.
Teenagers from Paisley Grammar School will join Macca for his last song tonight at the SSE Hydro, his Christmas classic, 'Wonderful Christmastime.'
Sir Paul McCartney will return to Glasgow for the first time in ten years for the show, which sold out in minutes.
The twenty-four pupils from the school will join the music legend to sing the chorus part of his festive classic, in front of a sold-out crowd of more than 10,000 people.
Second year pupil, Emma Loney said: “It’s an amazing opportunity to be part of something special.”
Andrew Dickie, Head of Expressive Arts at Paisley Grammar, Andrew Dickie said the pupils have been rehearsing very hard this week with only a couple of days’ notice to prepare.
He said: "To perform in the SSE Hydro in front of a sold-out crowd is a once in a lifetime opportunity – and a great way to end the term.”
Paul McCartney’s last visit to Scotland was in 2010 at Hampden Park.
Councillor Jim Paterson, Education and Children’s Services Convenor, said: “This is an incredible opportunity for our young people to be involved in a large-scale production – something that very few people ever get to experience."
