Roy Tempest
The man who pulled off the greatest con in music history
From Taxman to Guitar Man
At eighteen, Roy swapped the Inland Revenue for a guitar and the buzzing Soho scene. Within months, he wasn’t just playing rock ’n’ roll — he was plotting how to own it.
The World’s Youngest Super-Promoter
By 23, Roy was running Europe’s largest band agency, representing over 100 artists and shaping the careers of icons from The Beatles to Elton John.
When Fakes Became Legends
Frustrated with rising star fees, Roy had an outrageous idea: with Mafia help, he rebranded New York taxi drivers, postmen and in one instance – 3 armed bank robbers – as world-famous soul groups.
The Greatest Show Never Told
They stormed British stages, sold out venues, and appeared on live TV. Fans went wild — nobody knew they weren’t who they claimed to be.
A Story Like No Other
For decades, the truth stayed hidden. Now Roy tells all — from Mafia connections to Motown lawsuits, star-studded parties, and the wildest con in music history.
