live gig and lots more other Beatle and related landmarks. And, YES, you do get to walk across that famed ABBEY ROAD crossing! The tour also covers where Geldof conceived Band Aid
and Live Aid, where and how the Sex Pistols was formed, the Clash's
neighbourhood, also home to Bob Marley. There are heaps of sites
to please Pink Floyd fans. We pass the homes of Freddie Mercury,
Bowie, Bolan, Jimmy Page, Macca, Clapton, Van Morrison, to name
a few and see where Jimi Hendix died. You never know who you might
see in passing! For Stones fans there's the legendary Edith Grove
