An unbelievable experience of hidden music gems, both locally & global, so much I never knew about our city’s own music history. Peter was both clear & humorous about the details & was clearly heard in the hustle & bustle of town, pictures of old venues helped massively as well. Liverpool Music Tour was honestly one of the best things I’ve been on in our city & I’m now 53 years of age. I will most definitely be attending again when my friends visit from abroad. Peter thank you for a memorable night.A group of us went on this tour last night, very enjoyable and informative.

Was lucky enough to have an early version of the tour. Amazing first hand knowledge of the secret history of popular music in Liverpool. There was a story behind every doorway, a surprise around every corner, and a pub at the end. An outstanding tour guide who showed us inside the history of an alternative Liverpool--not your run of the mill tour from a tired script, but a wealth of insight from those who were there and continue to make the city the centre of the creative universe.Really enjoyed the tour with Keith from The Farm, very knowledgeable guide but easy to chat to, ask questions and generally get along. Learnt loads, some great tales about the music biz, finished off with a nice pint in Rigby’s
