Adam writes… I spent a decent portion of March 2025 stuffing envelopes with London Music Tours gift cards for Mothering Sunday… and you can guess what’s coming next.
This year Fathers’ Day falls on Sunday 15th June. Want to gift a London Music Tour to your dad? Get in touch!
Picking a gift for your old pa’? Do take great care to keep in mind what the Grumpy Old Fart DOESN’T want to be unwrapping. It is, after all, the one day of the year dedicated solely to him…
What He Doesn’t Want
- He doesn’t want a dodgy compilation album from the charity shop
- He doesn’t want a compilation CD from the checkout at the supermarket. Jeremy Clarkson’s 40 Favourite Death Metal Anthems, or some such. This is the equivalent of buying a hasty bunch of petrol station flowers for Mothers’ Day. Don’t do it.
- He doesn’t want a badly made and unofficial Led Zep t-shirt. It will shrink after the first wash and show off his moobs.
- He doesn’t want a copy of “An Insider’s Story of The Beatles” by a man whose only connection with The Fabs is that he once fixed the big end on John Lennon’s psychedelic Rolls Royce.
What He Does Want
- He wants a 1956 Fender Telecaster. But he can’t have one because they cost THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF POUNDS.
So why not book him a London Music Tour?
Pick a date and get in touch to arrange the booking…
With a two hour private Rock’n’Roll London Walking tour you can bring family and friends and spread the cost. (NB. Don’t make The Grumpy Old Fart pay: he pays on the other 364 days of the year, this is his day off.) Choose from the schedule of tours on this website or get in touch with your own ideas for a bespoke tour. Use this form to get in touch…
Alternatively you can bring him along to any of the public walks. Pick a date and book here.
You could even just send him along on his own. That way The Grumpy Old Fart gets two hours of peace and quiet to talk music with his guide and fellow music fans – and you get a break from The Grumpy Old Fart who will return home feeling slightly less grumpy for as long as half-an-hour. It’s win-win.
And before I let you go… it’s a great birthday present, too!
