  • Summary

  • Behind the UK's 50s and 60s rock and pop revolution was a group of gay impresarios, many of whom were good friends; from Larry Parnes (who mentored Billy Fury and Tommy Steele) to Brian Epstein, who made the Beatles the biggest group in the world, to Joe Meek, who made No 1 records in his house. Author Darryl Bullock takes us into their backstage world in his new book, 'The Velvet Mafia: The Gay Men Who Ran the Swinging 60s', which he discussed with us at a highly entertaining launch event on Zoom on February 4.

    Hosted by Duncan Steer.

    We have very limited copies of The Velvet Mafia with signed bookplates available at radiodaysevents.com.
