???? ON THE TUBE TONIGHT-
(all times CLT)

Paul McCartney’s daughter, Mary, recounts Abbey Road Studio’s nine-decade history in If These Walls Could Sing. The studio is one of, if not the most, famous recording studios on the planet, with fans visiting every year to get a picture at the famous zebra crossing. Iconic songs recorded at the studio include John Lennon’s Imagine, the Blackbird by The Beatles, Pink Floyd’s Breathe (In The Air) and James Bond theme song Goldfinger. The documentary features interviews with some of the legends behind the music recorded at the studio, from Kate Bush to Noel and Liam Gallagher, Ringo Starr, Pink Floyd’s Dave Gilmour, and Roger Waters. The documentary also features archival footage and interviews with producers, composers and the studio’s engineers and staff that guide viewers through the history of the world’s longest-running studio. McCartney and her father also step in to share their personal memories at the studio.
