Josh McCartney plays the generation game

Feb 18 2005

Liverpool Echo

THE crowd went wild when McCartney took to the stage in Liverpool last night. But this wasn't Sir Paul McCartney. Nor was it Paul's brother Mike, known for his hits with the Scaffold. This was Josh McCartney, Mike 's son. His band, The Famous Last Words, were supporting Rooster at Liverpool's Carling Academy. Story continues ADVERTISEMENT Drummer Josh, 22, looked like one of The Beatles as the group played a set of catchy pop songs. He said: "I want to be as big as my uncle and my dad. I think people have been surprised by us, but a lot of people don't know who I am, which is good. "We've already got a lot of fans following us now." The Famous Last Words, who haven't released an album yet, are aptly named - the only famous thing about the band at the moment is Josh's surname. Mike McCartney, who was photographing the band last night, said: "I think they're the best thing since sliced bread. They are set to be the next big thing." The other members are singer and bassist Will Bayliss, 22, and guitarist and backing vocalist Chris Rothwell, aged 23.
