About Us
Our cultural walking tours, led by long-term residents with professional music industry experience, are individually curated, informal strolls that draw on live and recorded music history, literature, film, TV and other cultural phenomena.
​
Our guides aim to provide unique and personalised insights into the city’s popular music culture that appeal to UK and overseas visitors alike. We usually limit tour numbers to 6-8 people to encourage group interaction and to minimise disruption in the busy neighbourhoods that we pass through.
OUR GUIDES
Keith Mono
​
Stones fan Keith misspent a fair part of his youth fronting mod revival band Long Tall Shorty (1978-1980). A heady cocktail of precocious egos and cheap amphetamines propelled the band onto the London gig circuit and into the orbit of such legends and rogues as Jerry Floyd, Mike Reid, Dave Dee, Jimmy Pursey, Steve Jones, Bruce Foxton, Rat Scabies, Captain Sensible and a 15year old fanzine editor, Eddie Piller, later to found Acid Jazz Records.
Always fond of storytelling and writing, Keith unpacks a flightcase of rock'n'roll myth and murk on his tours of 'The Smoke'.
Leigh Wildman
​
T. Rex fan Leigh dedicated much of his prime leading 80s indie rockers The Seers - peaking with chart success and touring with the Ramones and Iggy Pop. Leigh opted for early retirement but if he was hoping for the quiet life when he opened his vintage boutique in Drummond St, he was to be disappointed! The Delta of Venus shop became a mecca for the cool kids - including popsters of the era such as Brett Anderson, Jarvis Cocker and Noel Gallagher. Nowadays Leigh's making music again, describing his lo-fi albums as scores for sci-fi art house films. But that's another story...
