Guillemots to work with Sir Paul McCartney?

Fyfe Dangerfield hints at collaboration

Guillemots' frontman Fyfe Dangerfield has revealed the band may collaborate with Sir Paul McCartney.

The unlikely team-up is on the cards after Dangerfield sent the legend a note.

Speaking to BBC 6 Music Dangerfield said: "I rather geekily sent him (McCartney) a note because I’d heard that he really liked the strings on our first record. And I just said ‘Oh if you’re doing another record and you want someone who would write the strings for you then I’d love to do it.'"

"Then about three months later he left me a message saying ‘Hey man. Y'know, love the record but I don’t need anything at the moment’ but implied maybe sometime we could do something. Who knows?"

As previously reported on NME.COM Guillemots will release their second album 'Red' next Monday (March 24).
