Oh Brother...

The McCartney Brothers (Paul and Mike) performed only once in their brief career as a duo. What songs did they sing and where?

I don't know if this qualifies as performing, per se, but Paul, with Wings, met with Mike "McGear" (at the suggestion of George Harrison) at 10cc's Strawberry Studios in Stockport, UK, during January and February of 1974. Included in the sessions were "Sea Breezes", "What Do We Really Know?", "Norton", "Leave It", "Have You Got Problems", "The Casket", "Rainbow Lady", "Simply Love You", "Givin' Grease A Ride", "The Man Who Found God On The Moon", "Ten Years After On Strawberry Jam", "Sweet Baby", and "Dance The Do".

Nice answer, but not the one I'm looking for. Just to clarify, when I said 'performed' I meant in front of a live audience and as the 'McCartney Brothers'.

didn't they perform together in a summer camp or something like that?

You're on the right track.

I believe they played some songs at Butlins somewhere in England, before they were famous. Could I be any more vague?!

------------------

The venue was Butlin's Holiday Camp in Filey, Yorkshire.

All we need now is what they performed?

Weren't they originally the Nerk Twins?

That was John and Paul.

According to the Beatles Family Tree, the Nerk Twins were John and Paul for one night on Apr. 23, 1960. Paul and Mike were the Nerk Twins in the summer of 1957 at Butlin's Holiday Camp in Filey, Yorkshire.

Hi-di-Hi !

"You're killing me George, you've got me crying, you bugger" - Ringo's 1st reaction hearing George's recorded solo for King of broken hearts and 2 guitar lines for I'll be fine anyway, Dec. 1997

Nerks or not, that doesn't answer my question.

Since the Nerk Twins (aka Mike and Paul McCartney) played the venue in question over a course of time known as "the summer of 1957", is there any possible way to determine the set list of any of the undocumented appearances??

They played on the 24th also.

It wasn't much of a setlist, there were only two songs. One performance. It wasn't "over" the summer - the exact date of the performance is unknown, which is why "the summer of 1957" has been used.

Both songs in question were quite popular at the time - one was by the Everly Brothers, the other by Little Richard.

How about "Good Golly Miss Molly" and "Dream"

Good attempt, but not the right songs unfortunately. To give a further hint (and a pretty big one at that): The Everly Brothers' song was recorded by George during his solo career, and the Little Richard number was Paul's favourite, one that was recorded by the Beatles.

"All I Have To Do Is Dream" and "Long Tall Sally"

------------------

Long Tall Sally is correct, though All I Have To Do Is Dream is not. The one song remaining was the first big hit for the Everly Brothers.

It couldn't be "Cathy's Clown".
