Gone 50 years - but never forgotten. And always in our hearts... (Posted August 26, 2017) 
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!
