About Brian Epstein Statue

Brian Epstein became The Beatles manager in 1961, after seeing them play in the Cavern Club. The venue was just a short walk from the NEMS Record Store, which Epstein managed, and which played a vital role in the city’s music history, along with that of Fab Four. The statue was erected in 2022 and stands at the corner of Button Street and Whitechapel, following the first steps of Epstein’s journey to change the fortunes of both the Fab Four and himself. His five-year deal with the band saw them become more professional and guided them not simply to the top of the music charts but also into cultural history.
