Waterstones Liverpool welcomes Gary Kemp & Simon Halfon acontece a 12 de outubro de 2026, OH ME OH MY, em Liverpool.

We welcome Gary Kemp and Simon Halfon who join us to discuss their fascinating book 1967 - The World of Brian Epstein & The Beatles. When I first saw Brian Epstein’s black Twinlock binder, I was struck by how small and unassuming it was – just 160 by 100 millimetres, the kind of thing you could slip into a coat pocket. But inside, it held a universe. The book felt alive, buzzing, ready and waiting to be explored. So I dug deeper... Songwriting royalty Gary Kemp has been a Beatles fan all his life. When his love of all things Beatles took him to Sotheby’s, and legendary Beatles manager Brian Epstein’s address book was up for auction, he simply had to have it. Inside, Gary found a treasure trove of names and addresses which catapulted him into the world of theBeatles. But it also made him wonder - who really wasBrian Epstein? And who are these names?1967 – The World of Brian Epstein and the Beatles is a remarkable fusion of biography and detective story, as Gary tracks down the names in the address book and creates a vivid portrait of The Beatles’ inner circle. 1967 delves into an extraordinary cast of characters – from Mick Jagger to Cilla Black – to explore a dazzling society of celebrities, musicians, icons, power players and the occasional shady character. Designed and illustrated with images sourced by BAFTA-nominated filmmaker, art director and close friend of over 20 years Simon Halfon, 1967 is more than just an address book: it is a time capsule of one of the most electrifying years in modern culture. Gary and Simon's conversation will be followed by an audience Q&A and then a book signing.
