Additional Information

Liverpool is world-famous for its musical legacy, most notably The Beatles. However, this proud musical city has produced a conveyor belt of talent before and since Beatlemania, the story of which has not been fully told until now.

This brand-new unique experience offers a personal insider view of Liverpool from the point of view of a music icon leading the tour. The tour is led by either Pete Hooton (lead singer) or Keith Mullin (guitarist) of the 90s band The Farm. You will discover little-known secrets of the city and learn about their personal musical journey to fame.

You will get a guided tour of sites linked to their personal and musical journeys in central Liverpool. Gain unique insights not available anywhere else. The small group walking tour with no more than 12 guests is an easy, gently paced walking tour. You will also receive a free drink at the end of the tour and a chance to chat with your icon.

Thought I knew music until I did this tour - Excellent tour which I'd highly recommend. Peter has a vast knowledge of the Liverpool music scene to share and a multitude of great stories. Although the tour does touch on the Beatles, it is far more about exploring the post-Merseybeat music scene and boy is there a lot of it. The number of perfectly ordinary looking bars which have a rich musical heritage was astounding. The only bad thing I can say about the tour is that it made me wish I could timetravel in order to make the most of my new found knowledge!

Music sights and stories in Liverpool with the main man himself from The Fatm - This was a rare opportunity to see and hear some great stories about Liverpool music history. Lots of fascinating stops which are off the tourist trail with some amazing insights. If you love your music, this tour is not to be missed.

Absolutely brilliant afternoon - Fantastic afternoon spent with Peter Hooton. He led myself and a dozen others on an afternoon filled with fascinating facts and information linked to his home city of Liverpool. Covering numerous local bands from the Beatles to the Bunnymen and lots in between interspersed with anecdotes, good humour and a musical soundtrack to back it up, we couldn’t have been in better company. Smashing fella and a bonus well earned pint at the end of our tour with photo opportunities and a lovely keepsake. Highly recommended-thanks Peter x

Love music? You'll love this tour. - If you love music; particularly Liverpool music this is the tour for you. As you’d expect there’s a rich vein of The Beatles running through the tour; but the stories here won’t be found on any of The Beatles’ tours. I’m a big fan of The Farm and was lucky enough to be guided by their lead singer Peter Hooton. He shared some brilliant stories from the band and the Liverpool music scene which strayed into football, fashion and fisticuffs. Pete delivers his stories with deep knowledge, passion and a heavy helping of mirth. The bands and individuals mentioned in the tour are as varied as they are surprising. The glass collector turned singer was particularly amusing. There’s some hidden gems on the tour and it’s quite sad to see some of the significant buildings that have fallen into disrepair. There’s so many genres of music covered; there’s something for everyone here. Highly, highly recommend. Please release the playlist used on the tour!
