About this Event
Booka Bookshop and Linghams Bookshop are thrilled to host an evening with Olivia Harrison (Mrs George Harrison) at the iconic St Georges’s Hall in Liverpool.
Join Olivia Harrison to celebrate the publication of THE THIRD EYE, a unique collection of George Harrison’s personal photographs of the Beatles.
In The Third Eye, Olivia Harrison reveals a unique collection of George Harrison’s personal photographs of the Beatles at work and at play – many published for the first time.
From 1963 to 1969, George Harrison travelled the world with his bandmates, camera in hand, chronicling their impossible path to stardom.
“I like cameras because you can see things in a different way,” George once said, “and you can make things look how they feel instead of how they are.”
Compiled and curated by Olivia Harrison, the book will include an introduction by Olivia as well as essays by the internationally renowned authors Colm Tóibín and George Saunders.
Now, author, producer and the widow of the Beatles’ lead guitarist, Olivia Harrison, joins us to reveal an extraordinary collection of George’s personal photos, sharing singular images of Paul, John, Ringo, and George and the band’s friends and entourage as they rocketed to stardom and fostered the joyful madness that came to be known as Beatlemania. Snapped in those rare moments out of the spotlight, the photos offer a remarkable, inside look at the human beings behind the Beatles, trying to hold onto themselves – any enjoy themselves – while standing at the centre of the storm.
Olivia will discuss these candid, unguarded photos, brimming with Harrison’s wit and creativity.
Don’t miss this fantastic opportunity to see Olivia Harrison 'live' in Liverpool this November at one of only THREE UK events.
