Joe Flannery Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 29, 2019.
Joe Flannery was the Beatles booking manger from 1962 until 1963 and a key figure in the band’s early days. He was a childhood friend of Beatles manager Brian Epstein. Flannery’s apartment was a second home for many Merseyside bands, the Beatles would often sleep there and Flannery would drive them home the next day. He wrote a book titled “Standing in the Wings: The Beatles, Brian Epstein and Me,” about his time with the Beatles. In the book, he recalled giving George Harrison driving lessons.

We invite you to share condolences for Joe Flannery in our Guest Book.

A True Gentleman
I remember going to Joes’ house in Aigburth after meeting him at the Philharmonic Hall at the interval of a Joe Brown concert, I told him I write songs and he asked me could he listen to something I’d written so he invited me to his home where I gave him a cassette with a few songs I had recorded, after a short while he phoned me and said he liked them very much, the songs I gave him were “Candlelight Lover’s” and “Don’t Go Kisses” and he said “the test of a good song is if children catch on to them and like them then you know if they are good or not, he his relations children loved them and he said to me you should write for Musicals, I was honoured by his kind words and it will always be a fond memory of a true legend of the Merseybeat music scene.

Joe worked for many years as Beryl Marsdens manager(she sang with Rod Stewart in the band Shotgun Express in 66.)Joe also revived his booking manager rôle in the 70s in Liverpool with his agency Carlton Brook. The most polite man in the music business.

Thank you sir, for befriending our beloved Beatles. God bless your family. No surprise that Paul chose the name "Wings" for one of his bands. I think he honored you in that way. Signs of great character and trusted friendships.
