NOVEMBER 9, 1961, LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND: NEMS Store Manager Brian Epstein and assistant Alistair Taylor (many times a special guest at our FESTS) decide to check out what all the excitement was at The Cavern Club, just a short walk from the store. It was a lunchtime concert and The Beatles were playing. When Brian saw and heard them, he had a vision and had to become their manager to get them to the ‘toppermost of the poppermost’! He promised he would get them a recording contract and refused to take no for an answer, finally getting a receptive George Martin to give them a go, after being rejected by every other record company. Guitar groups are out!, was the most famous rejection, from Decca. I would rank this as the number two most important early moment in Beatles history, just behind July 6, 1957, the Day John met Paul. It is incomprehensible that Brian Epstein hasn’t yet been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This needs to be remedied. If you want to sign a petition to have him inducted, CLICK HERE.
The Original & Longest Running Beatles Celebration, Since 1974!
Brian should be in Rock n Roll Hall of Fame!
It is unbelievable that the man responsible for the most successful musical group in the history of the world has not been recognized for his contribution to rock music. If Brian Epstein does not belong in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame then the Hall should close it’s doors for lack of credibility.
I WANT BRIAN EPSTEIN IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME- HE’S ESSENTIAL TO THE BEATLES
Brian Epstein should of course be inducted because, after all, without his shrewdness we would never have the Beatles in the first place. It is sad that he is no longer with us!!
What are they waiting for. Without Brian E. there wouldn’t
be the greatest band ever. The Beatles.
It is a crime that Brian Epstein is not in the Rock and Roll hall of fame. Without him the Beatles would not have never left liverpool. They would have never blessed the world with there fantastic talents
he deserves an aw3ard
