♫ Free Guided 7 Mile Musical Walk Followed By Drinks, Live Music & Karaoke


Details
If you enjoy cultural walks with purpose in the city and love music then this will be right up your musical street! Led by a life long passionate music fan, part-time radio & club DJ and Musicologist (me!)- whilst walking through hidden historically significant streets - we'll discover A Day in the Life of the Beatles time in London who recorded some of the greatest songs ever written. During this epic Revolutionary 7 mile British musical adventure through the heart of London with "memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead", we'll visit key monumental landmarks that encapsulate the fab four including that world famous iconic zebra crossing, discover interesting stories and reliving some of those 227 Magical Mystery songs!
Ironically the tour will officially commence at the site of their last ever live performance and then we'll take The Long And Winding Road to visit John's residence, the gallery where he met Yoko, the church where Paul married Linda, the recording studio where Hey Jude was recorded, glimpse Ringo's townhouse where Jimi Hendrix lived and that saw the composition of Eleanor Rigby and pass George Harrison's favourite Indian restaurant in Soho.
Later - with a Little Help From Our Friend Gerry Rafferty - we'll pass Baker Street - home to the original Apple records and glance nearby landmarks where films like Hard Day's Night were shot. Then we''ll swiftly take a relaxing walk passing Lord's cricket ground to those world famous Abbey Road studios where their last few albums were recorded including the ground breaking experimental White LP.
On to Paul's house - we'll pass the Helter Skelter cafe, and see lots lots more! And for fellow dedicated followers of fashion (yeah I know it's a song a rival l band) - we'll pop into Stella McCartney's fashion boutique to see if she has any Sgt Peppers Lonely Heart Clubs uniforms in stock
To maximise interactive engagement and fun, I'll dish out random trivia questions (e.g which Beatles song was transmitted by NASA to star system Polaris to initiate alien contact?), jokes and take song requests on the way & sing a few lines From Me To You acapella stylee at key monuments!
Lastly we'll learn the history, meaning and inspiration behind those 227 puzzling Rock and Roll Music songs. And if you want to know what a particular song/lyrics was about/meaning - just ask!
Don't worry - no paid Ticket To Ride needed to aboard this musical escapade - like all our other events - attendance is free - as long as you are genuinely passionate about music (preferably a Beatles fan!)
PART 2 ---- LIVE BAND COVERING BEATLES SONGS
The tour will end in Paul's local pub but there will be a second part to the evening in nearby West Hampstead (we will walk it there) where you will be able to sing your favourite Beatles songs with a live band (there is a choice of about 10 songs). I have this listed as a separate event but will be open to everyone who attends the Beatles tour abnd you're real Beatles fan you will be an egg man to miss it!
The Walk
Accept for stops at key monuments, this will be a non stop continuous 7 mile stroll at a medium to fast pace so it's advisable to wear trainers/something comfortable or an Old Brown Shoe. Unfortunately, given the large distance that will be covered in a relatively short time frame - if you are a slow walker/impaired or not very fit- this event might not be appropriate for you as we can't Wait for laggards!
Lastly - I Don't Want To Spoil The Party but the no go decision is obviously weather dependent so let's hope it turns out to be a Good Day Sunshine. If any significant or prolonged Rain is forecast then we will postpone to a future date.
