The Gig, the Venue, and Paul McCartney
At 5:53 · chapter starts 3:58
The conversation kicks off with the shared experience of the night before — Cara's gig at Leak Street, a cavernous railway arch in London. Louis, who was standing beside Paul McCartney without speaking to him, asks why McCartney was there; Cara explains her long relationship with Stella McCartney, his daughter and fashion designer, meaning Paul and Nancy have taken a shine to her. Her band, blissfully unaware of the legendary audience member, only found out afterwards. Cara is candid about the acoustic perils of the venue: train vibrations shake wires loose from synths, meaning she spent stretches of the show with nothing in her ears. With characteristic bravado, she notes that since no one in the crowd knew the music yet, she could have sung anything and nobody would have known.
