At long last Brian Epstein has been
recognised with a blue plaque in London, organised by The Heritage Foundation. The Heritage Foundation aims to pay tribute
to those artists in the entertainment world who have given us joy in both
entertainment and sport.
George and John have both honoured with a
plaque at the old Apple offices in Baker Street and today Brian Epstein was
honoured at Sutherland House Argyll Street, next door to the London Palladium.
Sutherland House was where Brian ran his
NEMS operation from London, on the 5th Floor, when it was decided to
move from Liverpool to London.
The Heritage Foundation President is Vicki
Michelle MBE, known most famously as the waitress Yvette in the 1980’s TV show ‘Allo
‘Allo. Vicki opened proceedings and introduced other
notable celebrities including Andrew Lancel (who plays Brian in the new west
end stage show), and Martin Lewis, owner of the Brian Epstein website.
Others
in attendance included Jeni Crowley (fan club secretary in London in the
1960’s), the legend that is Tony Bramwell, Tony Crane (lead singer of The
Merseybeats), and Rod Davis (original Quarryman).
Dave Stark then told a brief resume of
Brian’s life including a reading of a special message from Paul McCartney
before 1980’s star Adam Ant told how his mum was once Paul’s housekeeper, and
how he used to go to Paul’s house in the 60’s and got his first taste of
screaming girls as he went in through the front gates.
The plaque was unveiled to rapturous
applause and was all over in about 20 minutes, but was followed by a special luncheon.
At last Brian is getting the recognition he
deserves. See photos from the event in the slideshow below.
Send Ringo Peace and Love for his Birthday Ringo's birthday is coming soon and not everyone is able to join in the celebration being planned outside of Abbey Road Studios, so we've decided we'll have celebration of our own.
Please send usphotos of you, your family and friends giving Ringo's famous Peace hand signal or holding signs that say "Peace and Love." We'll put all the photos together into a special message that we'll post on the website on Ringo's birthday.
