Wombats 'Ridiculously Flattered' By Sir Paul McCartney Production Offer

The Wombats have spoken about their amazement at Sir Paul McCartney's offer to produce the band's new material.

The former Beatle said in an interview recently that the prospect of working with the Liverpool band was “very tempting”, adding: “I'm not sure they would want me."

Speaking to BBC Newsbeat, the Wombats drummer Dan Haggis said it was “ridiculously flattering to have a Beatle like Sir Paul even mentioning us in a sentence."

"We were laughing about it, like it would be an interesting collaboration. I think we'd be up for doing a demo and seeing what it was like.

"Imagine kicking back with Sir Paul? Like, 'Yeah, I think we need a bit more hi-hat there Paul,'" Haggis joked.

Sir Paul's comments came ahead of his recent show at Anfield football stadium in support of Liverpool's reign as the European Capital of Culture for 2008.
