Additional Information

Liverpool is globally recognized for its history of music, most significantly, The Beatles. Nonetheless, this city, well-known for its music, has been a constant source of musical prodigies even before and after the Beatles era - a tale that is yet to be fully publicized until now.

The brand-new exceptional journey provides a distinct insider’s perspective of Liverpool from the perspective of a musical legend leading the tour. Your guide will be Brian ‘Nasher’ Nash, the guitarist of ‘Frankie Goes to Hollywood’. You will uncover the less-known aspects of the city and explore his personal road to stardom.

Brian will guide you through landmark sites tied to his personal and musical growth in the heart of Liverpool. You will gain access to unique knowledge not available elsewhere. This leisurely paced walking tour accommodates a small group size of no more than 12 participants. A complimentary drink at the tour’s conclusion is also included.

Great experience with an 80’s music hero - fully recommended - My wife bought me the tour as a Xmas present and I have to say she nailed it with this one. Brian arrived smack bang at 11am, greeted our group of 12 with a warm smile and a handshake and we were on our way! The tour is not your usual one and involved a nice gentle walk around our fine city taking in many places relevant to Brian and FGTH and included stops where Brian offered some great anecdotes and stories - he said he’s not a tour guide but Liverpool tourist board need to sign him up! The tour included a stop midway for a drink and a chat - he is a great story teller and nothing is off limits when it comes to questions about FGTH - then we carried on for the remainder ending up in our final destination for another drink and chat. Brian was more than happy to sign any memorabilia - I’m just sorry I never brought my original vinyl copy of Welcome to the Pleasuredome for him to sign. The tour was supposed to be around 2 and a half hours but by the time Brian had to leave it was more like 5 hours! Like another of Liverpool’s great characters, Ken Dodd, he doesn’t know when to stop talking. All in all a great day and experience, would fully recommend and from one Brian to another - Thanks.

Top Day Out - No spoilers! A top day out & not your average tour! Nasher's tour as well as being informative was peppered with spontaneous wit & a delivery that conveyed his real passion for the city. You'll see old haunts that the band frequented and hear some colourful stories from back in the day, rounded off with a pint & a natter. Informative as it was entertaining, a top day out with a top fella. Highly recommended.

Great music history tour with Nasher. - Had a great time on Saturday doing the Liverpool Music Icons Tour with Nasher. Brian was a brilliant tour guide and host and showed a few historic gems around the city and painted a great picture of FGTH formative years. Also included a pint and a bit of a Q&A. Who wouldn't want a pint with one of the lads? Highly recommended.

A more personal and unforgettable experience on our Musical Icons Tour - Our day in the company of Nasher is one none of our small group will ever forget. For many peope, Liverpool's world-renowned musical heritage is associated solely with the legacy of the Beatles, but this fantastic tour made me appreciate the sheer depth and quality of the musical talent that came out of the city in the 80s and 90s. It was fascinating to see with our own eyes the places, pubs and clubs which played a significant part in the development of the music scene in Liverpool in the 80s and 90s, but most exciting of all, almost surreal, was that we were learning all this from someone who was a member of the biggest band of this era, the phenomenally successful Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Nasher is a natural raconteur with an affable, down-to-earth nature which greatly enhanced the experience for me. Nothing was rushed, and I especially loved the interest he showed in us too as individuals. Like me, if you want to do something really special for someone with an interest in the music of this era, this would be just the perfect way to do it.

An excellent music tour of Liverpool - Excellent tour, Brian was an excellent guide, visited iconic places of Liverpools Music history. Brian's narration was informative and amusing, great stories of Liverpool in the 70s and 80s plus visiting the iconic sites full of Beatles history. We loved seeing where Frankie Goes to Hollywood rehearsed and hearing the stories about their time together. Ending up in a pub was a bonus, a really great day - thanks Nasher 👍😊

He Loves this Town - An absolutely brilliant experience. If you have an interest in the Liverpool music scene, beyond the Beatles this is definitely the walking tour for you. In the excellent company of Nasher he will show you the sites of the legendary music studios, venues and music stores of the 70s and 80s and he has plenty of stories to tell. He loves this town. Let him show you around.

Fantastic way to „relax“ on a Saturday afternoon - Great trip for people interested in music history. The walking tour had a good itinerary and being a small group, we were able to ask plenty of questions. Nasher also made it enjoyable for my son who was a lot younger than everyone else, chatting about relevant local artists today. I came away with a signed single bought originally in 1984!

Well worthwhile experience - Really enjoyed our tour with Nasher of the iconic and less well known corners of Liverpool. Nasher shared his personal and historical stories in an engaging way. He brought back memories for us too. Chatted about the back stories behind Frankies get together for eurovision over drinks at the Bridewell. Recommended this tour to our friends and family. Don't miss out on this experience- it's well worth it.
