Join me in the heart of London’s West End to explore and celebrate all of the iconic music locations of our capital city.
A special experience for those who love classic rock music, as we as follow in the footprints of the world’s greatest musicians in the beating heart of London’s music scene.
Check out the venues used as recording studios, auditoriums and theatres for gigs, pubs and clubs where the stars hung out, music instrument stores, settings for album covers and even a magistrate court where stars were busted.
Legendary artists such as David Bowie, Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Who, Kinks, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd Jimi Hendrix, T.Rex, Queen, Elton John, Sex Pistols, The Clash, U2 and Oasis, to name-check just a few.
A music voyage to feature all genres: classical, jazz, folk, skiffle, rock and roll, rhythm and blues, reggae, heavy metal, punk and new romantics.
I show you images to enhance presentations, and play many of the hits that we all know and love, as we move around locations.
Allow me to bring some passion and energy to the amusing storytelling, to provide you with a memorable fun and entertaining London tour experience, and some treasured photo shoots.
