Here were the Headlines in the UK from the LIVERPOOL ECHO that my good pal Seamus Hayes saw that notified me of this new book:
‘I fell out with Sir Paul McCartney but I’m proud of what we built in Liverpool’
Sir Paul McCartney’s former manager, Richard Ogden, spoke about his new book which opens up on his six year period working with the music icon…
Description Of the Book from the Publisher:
“With his tongue-in-his-cheek the author looks back on sixty years spent working in the international popular music industry during which time he has been a journalist, a publicist, an artiste manager (twice) a senior record company executive (twice) and most recently a concert promoter in Poland and Brazil. During that time, he has worked with more than 200 artists, from some never-heard-of no hopers to a handful of the all-time biggest names in popular music. Beginning in 1968 when the author interviewed the up-and-coming singer Joe Cocker and ending in the summer of 2026 when he promoted the French keyboard legend Jean-Michel Jarre in Poland, the book includes chapters on Shirley Bassey, Black Oak Arkansas, Black Sabbath, Ted Nugent, The Motors, Paul McCartney, Michael Jackson, Aerosmith, Mariah Carey, Ricky Martin, Van Morrison and Tony Iommi’s Heaven and Hell.”

Special thanks to our blog subscriber and friend, Seamus Hayes in the UK who informed me of this book title!
Thanks Seamus, for making me a bit poorer! LOL
I have the distinct feeling I am going to enjoy this book as it seems intent to portray our musical heroes as they really are, and not through the lens and veneer of artificially created images and public relations manipulations!
Be healthy and be happy!
