"I remember coming here the very first time with my mates John, George and Ringo. Sitting back there just as little kids we were... And it was just fantastic to be part of this songwriting thing. It was always the greatest award - the greatest thing to get for songwriters. I think it still is."
Sir Paul McCartney
