The Beatles met with Brian Epstein once or twice around the end of November or beginning of December of 1961. Brian hoped to convince the group that he should become their manager, despite his lack of experience in that type of position. The meetings may have come just in time. The Beatles had become more and more frustrated at playing the same venues around Liverpool over and over again with no prospect of gaining a larger UK audience. They were popular in Hamburg as well, but the prospect of just playing in dive bars forever wasn’t particularly appealing. The prospect of having a real manager was intriguing. Epstein had contacts, knowledge of the music industry, and very importantly, money. In this week’s podcast, we talk about Brian Epstein’s journey to become the manager of The Beatles!
