Great music tour - I bought the Glasow Music tour. Starting at RCH, for my husband . He went along with a friend. Both are music fans and they had a great day and were very impressed with their guides knowledge. There was a protest on around part of the route, but the guide managed to keep their tour going without ruining the flow of their walk

A fun, informative and essential guide to this wonderful city of music. - This was a well researched and informative walk which covered everything from music hall to the music boom of the 1960s but also covered grass roots venues and the various music scenes that emerged from Glasgow over the years. Phil is a charming and witty guide, the 2 hours flew by.

Musos - don't miss this! - What Phil doesn't know about music and culture isn't worth knowing. Linking his tales with historical context and social awareness, Phil had me hanging on every word. Just wish we'd had longer in town so we could have gone to both of them. Fab. Thanks, Phil.
