The late Larry Parnes (above left) knew Jimmy Savile, who knew Edward Heath.

Parnes was the top UK impresario who began the pop business in the 1950s.

“From the mid 1950s Larry Parnes, ‘the beat svengali’ was prowling the clubs of Soho and no doubt the nearby ‘Dilly’ for young boys he could sexually abuse on the promise of becoming stars.

“From his bar at La Caverne on Romilly Street, W1 Soho, leading to Shaftesbury Avenue onto Piccadilly Circus he had the perfect base.

“There amongst theatrical producers and arty types he would meet such types as Lionel Bart and spot Marty Wilde and Tommy Steele…”


“In September of that year, Jacobs was involved in a bizarre case in which a Hungarian interior decorator was found half-naked, nailed to a cross on Hampstead Heath…

“Police, it was said, had been questioning Jacobs himself over the case…

“On December 15, 1968, at the age of 56, Jacobs was found hanged by a rope from a beam in the garage of his home in Hove.

“It was reported that following his death, police had found ‘almost indecipherable notes’ in Jacobs’s hand in his red smoking jacket, leading them to question a number of young men and ‘several well-known and titled people’ about parties in West End flats and country houses…

“It is said that shortly before his death, Jacobs was approached by an emissary of the gangster Ronnie Kray – himself well known in London’s gay world – seeking his help.

“Ronnie and his brother Reg were due to stand trial at the Old Bailey, charged with the murders of George Cornell and Jack ‘The Hat’ McVitie.”
