Olivia Harrison shows George Harrison’s unseen photographs of the Beatles on the road from 1963 to 1969, in conversation with Samira Ahmed.
Olivia Harrison, the film producer and widow of the Beatle George Harrison, presents his unseen photographs of the band at Conway Hall in Holborn on Tuesday 24 November 2026. Samira Ahmed joins her in conversation.
From 1963 to 1969 George Harrison carried a camera as the Beatles toured the world. His pictures run from Liverpool to The Ed Sullivan Show and catch Paul, John and Ringo away from the stage.
Olivia Harrison began in the music industry at A&M Records in Los Angeles, where she met George. She went on to help run his Dark Horse record label.
She co-produced the Grammy-winning film of the 2002 Concert for George. In 2012 she won an Emmy for Martin Scorsese’s documentary George Harrison: Living in the Material World, and in 2022 a second Emmy for Peter Jackson’s The Beatles: Get Back.
The photographs show the four at work and at rest during Beatlemania, and George was taking selfies long before the phone camera. She guides the room through them picture by picture.
Ahmed presents Front Row on BBC Radio 4 and Newswatch on BBC One. She has written a book on the Beatles’ first film, A Hard Day’s Night.
