He has decades of experience working with the very best musicians at the top of the industry. Elton John by Stuart Epps comes to Norden Farm Centre for the Arts in Maidenhead later this month.
Stuart has toured the United States with Elton John, and produced and engineered records for Led Zeppelin, Elton John, Bill Wyman and Paul Rodgers.
He first met Sir Elton John in 1967 where he was the office boy at The Beatles music publisher Dick James. This was the same year that Elton met his lyricist, Bernie Taupin.
Elton was employed as a staff songwriter.
Stuart says he was immediately impressed with Elton’s talent and started working as assistant for Elton’s co-ordinator and Head of DJM records Steve Brown.

His role involved everything to do with Elton’s career including booking studios, musicians and promoting his early records to the BBC.
In the late 60s and early 70s Stuart toured the states with Elton and his band as his personal assistant.
While touring with Kiki Dee and Elton in 1974, Stuart was at the amazing New York Madison Square concert when John Lennon performed his last gig with Elton.
He then went on to work at Elton’s producer Gus Dugeoen’s Studio The Mill in Cookham.
Here, he worked again with Elton recording hits including Song For Guy and Nikita.
Stuart engineered on many projects at The Mill throughout the 70s and 80s, working with Elton John, George Harrison, Bill Wyman, Paul Rodgers and Chris Rea.
In recent years, Stuart has continued to work with big name artists to great acclaim, as well as helping a host of promising new up-and-coming artists to sound their best.
Stuart’s talk at Norden Farm also includes his work with other artists including Led Zeppelin, George Harrison, Chris Rea, Robbie Williams and Oasis.
