What is The Great West End Record Shop Crawl?
It’s like a pub crawl… only with record shops instead of pub.
It’s a music history walking tour with a route plotted around the locations of the West End record shops.
And it’s at a discount price – so you’ll have more money to buy records!
Through the famous streets of Covent Garden and Soho we’ll look at 400 years worth of musical history in the West End – from Mozart to Britpop and beyond. Along the way we will swing by all the places in central London where you can buy records (and CD’s), including…
Fopp
Foyles
Travis & Emery
Rough Trade
Sounds Of The Universe
Sister Ray
Reckless Records
In between record shops your guide will present a wildly eclectic compilation album of music history locations in the West End. The track list will include…
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Maria Anna Mozart
The Rolling Stones
Lionel Bart
The Beatles
Judy Garland
The Sex Pistols
Dusty Springfield
Ronnie Scott
The Who
George Frideric Handel
Bob Dylan
Marianne Faithfull
