Join Me for a Rock’n’Roll Tour of London!

I’ve spent years walking the streets of London looking for the places where music history was made. Abbey Road Studios and its famous crosswalk. Denmark Street. Portobello Road. Berwick Street and Soho. Camden. BBC HQ. The clubs, venues, the record stores, the landmarks–the actual places where music and music history was made. It’s one thing to read or hear about something, but there’s nothing like being there, you know?

That’s why I’m so thrilled to have teamed up with Flight Centre to host a five night London rock tour. This will be cool.

We’ll stay in London for five nights and experience multiple music-related tours throughout the city. We’ll visit landmarks involving punk, new wave, classic rock, glam, Britpop and more. There’s limited space–we have room for 24 folks–so space is going to fill up fast.

If you’re interested–and I really hope you are–you can email Flight Centre at [email protected] or call toll free at 1 877 824 6618. This is actually a more direct way of finding out more information than going to your local Flight Centre office.
