Paul McCartney's Son To Play Legendary Cavern Club (STAR PULSE)

Paul McCartney's rocker son James is set to follow in his dad's footsteps on Tuesday by performing at the fabled Cavern Club where The Beatles made their name. The singer/songwriter will take to the stage at the now-legendary venue in Liverpool, England, where the Fab Four honed their craft and launched their career in the 1960s.

The 34 year old admits he jumped at the chance to play the Cavern Club, insisting, "Yeah, I (wanted)... just to embrace the Beatles legacy rather than running away from it... I think it's great, I think it's an honor."

James McCartney - also a musician - has lined up a show at the venue next month, as part of a short series of dates. The Fab Four were regulars at the Cavern in the early 1960s, performing nearly 300 shows. James said: "Of course I'm really looking forward to playing at the legendary Cavern venue in Liverpool.

It's where so many great music careers began and of course where my dad's band used to play, so it's a special moment." The 34-year-old has performed on a number of his father's albums and has pursued a musical career in his own right, with low-key releases for his own EPs.

The Beatles legend — used to playing huge arenas and headlining festivals — showed his support for James by turning up to watch his live set at London's Barfly.

Sisters Mary and Stella also attended and there were smiles all round as the close-knit family embraced for pics following the singer's low-key gig.

James — son of Macca and late wife Linda — has only just started out as a solo artist, having previously played guitar and drums for his famous father.

He appeared on Paul's 1997 collection Flaming Pie and his 2001 album Driving Rain, as well as co-writing several tracks.

The 34-year-old first went it alone in 2009, debuting his own original material at the Fairfield Arts & Convention Center in Iowa, US.

He released his first EP, Available Light, in September 2010 and a follow-up, Close At Hand, earlier this year.

Bearing more than a passing resemblance to his dad, James is a staunch vegan in honour of his late animal activist mum.
