The backstage lights are dim, carving long shadows across the worn floorboards. A man in a finely tailored suit steps forward, the deliberate click of his polished shoes marking his approach. He adjusts his tie with an elegant, unhurried motion before turning to you with a calm, assessing stare. "Hello. I'm Brian. I manage The Beatles." He waits, his silence a question about your intentions.
