I've been trying to find out the exact date of the encounter between The Beatles and disgraced peer (then an undergraduate) Jeffrey Archer.

Pic here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/…..447240.stm

I've read that the pic was taken either at Brasenose College, Oxford, and backstage after a Liverpool show. The former seems more likely, but the two sources that claim it's Liverpool are the BBC and the Guardian – both normally fairly reliable.

Anyone know the truth? And if so, what was the precise date? I'd like to add it to the blog, but can't unless I know when it happened!

Hi Billy. Thanks for that – yes, it was the money shot (pardon the pun) that I meant.

Yes it was Brasenose College. The Beatles had played the Carfax Assembly Rooms in Oxford on 16 February 1963 (that venue no longer exists by the way).

My dad (who studied with Jeffrey Archer at Brasenose College, Oxford) was there with them on that day. That was March 5, 1964. Until about 2 years ago I had stationery from the college, signed by the Fab Four, and dated precisely the date I have mentioned. Wherher or not that photo has anything to do with it, no idea. My dad used to recount how Harold Macmillan was there, too, and it was a fund-raising event (as a fund-raiser, you can keep a percentage .. this was Archer's moneyspinner as a student).

I know this is so off-topic, but "STEVE-O" why is your username that guy's name off of Jackass? a-hard-days-night-ringo-4

Oh fab – thanks very much for that.

I forgot all about this thread. I think it was the very first one I ever started on the forum, partly just to say something.
