This is a truly pop-tastic experience!
Over the years, Torquay has been entertained by some of the greatest names in music, like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, Bowie and ABBA. What makes this tour ‘magical’ is that local musicians Paul (saxophone) and Phil (guitar) will play a compilation of familiar songs from these bands, along the coastal route, whilst guests hear the fascinating trivia behind each song. Paul is also a local radio DJ, so not only does he have a good musical knowledge, he also used to work in the Met Police and will share some of his amusing anecdotes about singers that he’s encountered! The walk will take in everything from hymns to punk rock and folk to sea shanties and musical theatre thrown in for good measure. And afterwards, the party will continue at a local bar playing more musical numbers.
