Winner of the prestigious Penderyn Music Book Prize 2022 In the
fifties and sixties, in the period leading up to the partial
decriminalisation of homosexuality and the founding of the Gay
Liberation movement, a group of gay men behind the scenes of
rock'n'roll was changing pop, politics and society for good.
Through a mix of new interviews and contemporary reports, Darryl W.
Bullock shines a light on the lives of the so-called 'Velvet
Mafia', including impresario Larry Parnes, Beatles manager Brian
Epstein, songwriter Lionel Bart, record producer Joe Meek, and Bee
Gees and Cream manager Robert Stigwood. Compelling and
enlightening, The Velvet Mafia explores how the LGBT professionals
at the heart of the music industry were working together and
supporting each other at a time when being homosexual could mean
the end of your career - or much worse.
