Don't think the @__PaulMcc81540614__ account is legit. If it was, it would have a blue checkmark next to it.
That's what I thought too. Searching the board I see there have been other accounts doing the same in the past. Thanks for the reply.

So I decided to take the plunge and upload my video! A cringey 45 second snippet from my life, on my twitter in 'replies' if anyone wants a small laugh. Good luck to anyone else entering
I saw no video there. Just a tweet about Liverpool.
you have to be logged in to Twitter, then look under Tweets and Replies. Or try here https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=%23underthestaircase&lang=en or Instagram https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/underthestaircase/ to see them all.
Katie - Very cute video--what fun students you have! Good luck to you!
Thanks! I found her video! Also saw some other people I know!

Hi - newbie to the board though I have lurked for a long time!
I upoaded a video to twitter last night for #UnderTheStaircase and today I have been followed by 'Paul McCartney' which is an account which looks identical to the one with the verified tick and claims that it is administered by MPL. I see it is now following a number of people who uploaded videos.
However, the actual twitter handle is @__PaulMcc81540614__ . It has only existed since March and retweets every tweet from the official verified account.
Does anyone know if this is a duplicate official account used by MPL or a scam account? If it's a fake account it seems strange that it hasn't been taken down by now.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
A lot of people wth large fanbases are know to have "lurker" accounts run by management that pose as fan accounts or even just pages like the one you linked here to gather info and feedback as to what the fans think in an incospicious way. I worked in media and there are a LOT of well know people who do this.
Probably not likely in this case and it's most likely just a randomer but 'tis an idea.

Again, best of luck to all members,. I hear news coming quickly
-
Yeah good luck!
I would've done a video - but never put myself online.. would have maybe used my 1 year old as he's too young to be "recognised" (?!!!!!!!) and we could've done a fab vid of him dancing to his "uncle Paul" with his "1st book of Paul" that i made him (like "1st book of animals" etc type of toddler books!!).
But, we didn't enter, as he has 2 important hospital appts next week so couldn't miss them, even for Uncle Paul. Plus my sister is on holiday and she'dve expected to come with me if i won!
So yeah, couldn't enter, wouldn't have won anyway...!
Good luck everyone

I don't know where the last few posts went off to, but now I see there is a Facebook Q&A at LIPA on the 25th. The gig is still supposed to be in London, tho.

Yeah, my first out-of-it reaction upon seeing that was that maybe that would be where the gig would be, but then I remembered they explicitly said it would be in London and I immediately deleted my post. I'm still banking on Abbey Road -- or a Harry Potter museum.
I've enjoyed some of the videos BTW -- Katie, yours was cute and clever. Best of luck everyone!

Yes, I know, I post about this A LOT, but I'm really hopeful, so bear with me.
My friend and I are huge fans of Paul McCartney, and we would really like to see him live. The only problem is, performers rarely come to Denver. (For those curious, I had to fly over to NYC to see Paul perform)
I read that Paul is *probably* planning to do small gigs too, so I'm hoping he'll come to Denver!
Anybody agree?
