Clara Amfo sang Wings to Paul McCartney’s face

 
Trevor NelsonRecap of the show on

Clara Amfo spent her Tuesday afternoon covering for Trevor Nelson, and the best moment came when she pulled out Wings’ “Arrow Through Me” for her own version of Trevor’s Trove, which she dubbed Clara’s Crate. She told listeners she once interviewed Sir Paul McCartney for the BBC and ended up singing a bit of the song at him. “I can officially say I’ve performed as Sir Paul McCartney,” she said, quickly adding that he “may not remember” the moment but insisting it really happened.

One Second to Name brought its usual guessing game, with the day’s clue “it’s no molehill” pointing listeners towards Big Mountain. Dave from Faversham in Kent rang in to confirm the answer, admitting he’d worked it out from the clue the day before. He used his moment on air to send love to his cousin Valerie in Leicester and his fishing friends, before heading off to prepare for a solo practice session ahead of a weekend match.

Clara also chatted with travel presenter Kirsten O’Brien about TV viewing habits, revealing she’s been working through Mobland and East of Eden, while Kirsten admitted she doesn’t get much telly time at all. During the Old School Run segment, listeners shared voice notes including one from Nicole heading to the airport for a 27-hour flight to New Zealand to see her daughter. Discussing Oasis’s reunion shows from last summer, Clara said simply, “Well done for being friends again Liam and Noel.”
