Tour description

RocknStroll Through Time Bath’s Hidden Music History is a tour in Bath. RocknStroll Through Time Bath’s Hidden Music History has a rating of 5.00/5.00.

Discover Bath’s surprising rock and roll heritage as you wander its historic Georgian streets.

While Bath boasts rich classical roots, with prodigies like Thomas Linley and the lyrical masterpiece “Danny Boy” penned here, it’s the city’s electrifying connection to rock music that will leave you humming.

From Eddie Cochran’s untimely death at Combe Down in 1960 to Fleetwood Mac’s legendary farewell to Peter Green at Twerton Park in 1970, Bath’s streets have witnessed the rise and resonance of music history. The Bath Blues Festival of 1970 even inspired the birth of Glastonbury, now one of the world’s greatest festivals.

Step back into the 80s at iconic venues like Moles Club, where Tears for Fears debuted and a cityscape which inspired Peter Gabriel to craft hits like “Solsbury Hill.” With legends rehearsing in pubs, recording at Crescent Studios, and igniting stages across the city, Bath’s music story is as vibrant as its architecture.
