Music publicist Tony King shares his memories of 1960s swinging London, including working with the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Roy Orbison and others.

Another chance to hear legendary music publicist Tony King sharing his memories of the 1960s, when he worked with the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Roy Orbison, Phil Spector and others.

A personal look at this sensational decade, Tony was at the centre of the Swinging 60s in London, and brings it to life with his stories. There are stories of iconic musicians but there are also memories of the everyday, of paying 拢2 a week to rent a flat in Fulham, having to sneak into Vidal Sassoon after dark to have his hair cut by a women's stylist, and how difficult it was to go to the cinema with Brenda Lee. He also remembers the impact fashion and drugs had on the world at large.
