The Wombats have responded to Sir Paul McCartney's claims that he would be interested in doing production work with the Liverpool trio.

Last month the legend said he would be tempted to produce The Wombats, who he previously met at the Liverpool Institute Of Performing Arts.

Responding to the comments, The Wombats' drummer, Dan Haggis told BBC Newsbeat, "It's ridiculously flattering to have a Beatle like Sir Paul even mentioning us in a sentence.

"I think we'd be up for doing a demo and seeing what it was like. Imagine kicking back with Sir Paul! Like, 'Yeah, I think we need a bit more hi-hat there Paul.'"
