London Music Guide – Catalogue

LONDON MUSIC GUIDE. From Abbey Road to the Ministry of Sound London is undoubtedly one of the great world capitals of music. Since always, but to a greater extent since the fifties, the British capital has absorbed rhythms, sounds and songs from the most diverse places: North America, the Caribbean, the former colonies, old Europe and, also, other areas of the Kingdom. United. Much of modern music, whatever its style and the spirit that inspires it -pop, rock, punk, soul, jazz or folk, not forgetting reggae and contemporary dance floor rituals-, has been forged in London, in its streets, in its large and small theatres, in the offices of its managers, in its pubs… Throughout this Musical Guide to London we offer you a journey through the last decades remembering legendary artists and groups that have left their mark on the city, such as the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Fairport Convention, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Amy Winehouse, Queen, Sex Pistols or the Clash, and also visiting emblematic places, such as the Abbey studio Road and its famous zebra crossing; the Marquee, with its legendary concerts; the Blitz and its new romantics; the Batcave, with its combed hair and make-up from beyond the grave; immortal musicals, such as the Rocky Horror Show, or the Ministry of Sound and its famous dance floor. A very complete guide that includes numerous anecdotes, historical photos, city maps and ten routes to follow in the footsteps of the most emblematic groups and artists who have trodden the streets of London.
