In 1966 Epstein reinvented it as a music venue featuring various US acts.{{sfn|Spitz|2005|pp=648β649}} On 20 February 1967 Epstein sacked the manager of the theatre, Michael Bullock, for lowering the [[safety curtain]] the previous day shortly before the end of a [[Chuck Berry]] concert that Epstein was attending with Lennon and Starr. Two fans had climbed onto the stage to dance, the curtain came down, and they were pushed from the stage. Although Bullock had not given the order, he was held responsible.<ref name="CurtaindownSaville">{{Cite news |title=Epstein sacks for ringing down the curtain on pop singer|work=[[The Glasgow Herald]] |page=22|date=21 February 1967}}</ref> In the wake of the Beatles' success Epstein was asked to appear on several music-based TV programmes in Britain.
