Here’s a Taster of the places and stories that await you
Did you know that Keith Moon and Mama Cass died in the same flat? The London Mayfair flat was owned by their mutual friend, singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson. Visit this posh London neighbourhood and hear the unfortunate tale.
Can you name the “50 Moments that Changed the History of Rock and Roll”? One such moment was the night in London when instrument demolition became an intricate part of The Who’s live performances. We’ll tell you the story!
Visit London’s “Tin Pan Alley” – Europe’s best music street. Rock and Roll history was made here. As early as the 1920s, a niche musical community developed here, which still remains today. In this friendly and atmospheric street, there’s always music wafting from basements, shop windows, and balconies.
The disturbing “space invader” cover for David Bowie’s 1972 album, “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars”, was photographed in an ordinary backstreet of London. This small side-street has for many Bowie fans the same significance as Abbey Road or Jim Morrison’s grave in Paris. We’ll take you there!
