Paul hired a local band by the name of SPUD to be in the video, here is what the press had to say:
FIRST THE BEATLES, then Wings - now Spud. London rock band Spud have gone straight to the top of the pops - as Paul McCartney's new band.
The 16 year old rockets from Ealing are to make their TV debut on ITVs The Chart Show as the co-stars of the video for Paul's Christmas single, BN.
The 4 piece band spent all day filing with Paul and Linda on the Nightingale Estate, Hackney, where the video makers spent much of the time throwing TV sets out of the 20th floor windoes on the tower blocks as part of the action.
For other scenes Spud got a double Beatle bonus - when they were filmed playing with Ringo Starr, who drums on the song.
The video's director, Julian Temple, make of the Patsy Kensit move Absolute Beginners, hired Spud after spotting the band play at a London Club.
"It was wild" said Spud guitarist Gareth Johnson, "we've been gigging around London regularly for the past 6 months and now we'ere playing with Paul and Ringo. Talk about dreams coming true......"
