Welcome to the official Brian Epstein website! If you have arrived here because you have seen or heard of a new film about Brian Epstein - we're glad you're here. A place where Brian is loved and celebrated...
Midas Man: Missed Opportunity
(Posted November 1, 2024)
The new film, Midas Man, has stirred up a lot of controversy and has received some truly
terrible reviews.
If you've seen the film - you'll know why.
So bad was the film that no theatrical distributor would release it. It has ended up as just
another streaming product on Amazon.
The "direct-to-video" of today's
world. It has all
the status, cultural significance and artistic gravitas of a Ricky Gervais stand-up special or
a puff-piece "documentary" about the Kardashians.
What a dreadful shadow to cast over Brian Epstein.
The Man Who Discovered The Beatles
This is the official Website dedicated to celebrating the life
and achievements of Beatles manager Brian Epstein, a man whose prescience, taste,
vision and passion has left an indelible impact on our planet.
Brian Epstein is the man who discovered the Beatles, and guided them to mega-stardom, making them
the most successful musical artists of all time. Without Brian, the Beatles as we came to know
them, simply wouldn't have existed.
In 1965, both Paul McCartney and George Harrison, on being awarded their M.B.E.s by the Queen,
said "M.B.E. stands for Mr. Brian Epstein."
Brian was, truly, "the fifth Beatle". (Paul McCartney's words, not ours.)
But, regrettably, the man who did so much for the Beatles, and who died tragically in 1967, has
become a comparatively forgotten man since his death. Almost a Nowhere Man.
This official website, which was also the first website dedicated to Brian Epstein, was
created to honor Epstein and to share all the news and information about the revival of
appreciation, and to provide background and context for those who are interested in the man
behind the Beatles.
Explore all the pages on this site to learn more about Brian Epstein, and to discover all the
news of what's happening to help restore the legacy of this very significant player in the
Beatles story!
Gone 50 years - but never forgotten.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Petition
