From the guide

I have been involved in the music business, running my own label to being signed as an artist, to managing a rock band. I have experienced many stories that I'd love to pass on!

What to Expect

It’s hard to believe just how much musical history is packed into the streets of Soho. The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Elton John, Black Sabbath and many more all have connections to Soho.

We’ll visit the most iconic music venue, that has welcomed an extraordinary roll call of artists over the years.

You’ll also see where The Beatles recorded their first release on Apple Records, along with the location connected to a famous comedy sketch involving one of the band members.

And if you fancy continuing the conversation, we’ll finish at a beautiful historic English pub with plenty of musical connections of its own. Over a drink, I’ll share some stories from my personal journey through the music business — the people, the places and some of the moments I’ve experienced along the way.

Itinerary

Soho Stop 1
You won't believe how much musical talent was crammed into one small iconic street! The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, Elton John...the list goes on and on. Moving on to where Brian Epstein put on the legendary Jimi Hendrix one fateful night in 1967! Onto Soho square, see where Paul McCartneys business headquarters are. British RocknRoll began at this coffee bar which is just round the corner to arguably the most famous of London music venues, where nearly every major artist has played! Enjoy the spot where John Lennon took part in a famous comedy routine. Stand in the spot where a famous Oasis album cover was taken, then to the studio where David Bowie recorded Ziggy and where the Beatles recorded Hey Jude! For those who want to hear my own personal stories of my involvement in music, we will end the tour in a beautiful old historic pub which has had many famous guests over the years!
