A Musical journey of London from Jazz and Blues Roots through Classic Rock, Punk, 80s New Wave/New Romantics, 90s Brit Pop ‘til today!
SOHO – history of rock and it’s foundations, from blues and jazz to skiffle, folk, and into the heart of swingin’ 60s CLASSIC ROCK through NEW WAVE/NEW ROMANTICS of the 80s. Take a walk in your favourites’ footsteps through the narrow, winding streets of what is London’s entertainment district.

See where the Sex Pistols shared space with Bananarama, where Goth was spawned, and where the greats bought (and some still buy) their instruments on ‘Tin Pan Alley.’ Beatles? Of course! See Paul’s offices, theatre once owned by all the Fab Four, early gig sites, where Brian Epstein had offices.
CAMDEN – Amy, Amy, Amy! Long before Ms Winehouse made this area her playground, here was the stomping ground for hippie London, The Clash, then Madness and U2 in the 80s, Oasis and their Brit Pop rivalries in the 90s. The list of bands playing Camden venues is long and illustrious – Pink Floyd, Sex Pistols, Dylan, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Manic Street Preachers, The Clash, Prince, Van Morrison, Killers, Coldplay and Blondie to name a few. Glimpse the world-famous Camden Markets and canal – this is an area known for street art, where a guy called Banksy started too.
ABBEY ROAD/ST JOHNS WOOD – yes of course we can’t do rock and roll without a photo stop at London’s most famous street crossing!
