Brandi Carlile Met Her Wife Through Paul McCartney, But Thought She Was 75 | Table Manners Podcast

Welcome to a very special series of episodes where we delve into the archive from Series 16 & 17 of Table Manners. These episodes were filmed but never released in full video… until now! Here’s a very special episode ‘Fresh from the Archive!’ in all its visual glory, enjoy! We had a Grammy legend on the podcast back in early 2025 - the 11 time winner, it’s singer/songwriter Brandi Carlile! Brandi schlepped to New Cross from Windsor where she was staying with her best friend, Sir Elton John. She was about to release a brand new album with Elton, and we heard all about how the album came about - and that the entire process was filmed for a documentary too. Brandi also talked about living on a compound in Washington state with all of her close friends and family, that she got married to her wife in London, all about her regular jamming sessions with Joni Mitchell (with wine and Mexican food dished up for everyone!), that it was thanks to Sir Paul McCartney that she met her wife, plus she has THE best idea pitch to Ben & Jerry’s for their new Ice Cream flavour - Candy Bar-lile! Brandi will be on tour across the UK & Ireland in April 2027, tickets available via her website.
