Mike McCartney with Everyman Scaffold print

Musician and photographer Mike McCartney has given his support to the Everyone for the Everyman fundraising appeal by donating a print of a Scaffold poster signed by him and his Beatle brother Sir Paul McCartney from a gig at the theatre in 1966.

From Monday May 20, limited edition prints of the poster will be on sale with all profits going towards the appeal.

Mike said: "This poster of Scaffold at the Everyman in 1966 (on my birthday!) was painted on by my big (cheeky!) elder brother when we all had.... time!

"It was later signed by me and our kid (a RARE occurrence!) to raise money for the Hope Hall... oops!... Everyman Theatre, where I started my career with The Liverpool One Fat Lady Non-Electric show, which became Scaffold."

Launched in July last year, the public fundraising appeal is now halfway to reaching its £1 million target needed to complete the building, and create a Talent Fund to nurture new generations of Liverpool artists.
