Overview

Join me on a nostalgia-fuelled jaunt around Britpop land circa 1995. I had the honour of living and loving here that year. It was the height of Britpop, and I lived in its epicentre; what a great place to be a music fan. By chance, I'd found a lovely double room to rent in Primrose Hill. I had the best of both worlds: rough, riotous Camden Town and gentile, pretty Primrose Hill.

I was a student then, but my eyes were on the future - I wanted to make websites for pop stars. I struggled to learn HTML, preferring to spend evenings chatting with boys in Fred Perry shirts. I ended up working with My Life Story, and some of my anecdotes about them will be shared en route. We will stop by iconic locations such as the Electric Ballroom, Dingwalls, The Good MIxer pub and others you wouldn't expect to find on a Britpop tour. We'll be delving into the deeper history of the area and why it's always been a place for music.

I liked the way the tour was setup. I recommend to a solo traveller who wants to discover and learn at the same time.
