‘Leamington Rocks’ music tour and talk
As you may know, for such a small town, Leamington has a surprisingly rich music history. We have been working with local historians to create a ‘magical mystery’ tour of our town, followed by a talk at Temperance.
Entitled ‘Leamington Rocks’, this will take in the important music venues, tell some of the stories and give you an insight into some of the characters that make our town so fascinating. We guarantee there will be some surprises along the way. And some great music!
Why did John Lennon buy a house in Leamington? Which pub did Paul Simon perfom in? What is Leamington's only #1 single? Where did The Specials record "Ghost Town"? Where can you find Tammy Wynette's caravan? Answers to these questions and lots more!
The tour and talk will be led by Adam Wood , a local historian, Timings are:
9:00 Meet at Temperance for drinks and introductions
9:30 Walking tour of Leamington (approx 90mins)
11:00 Presentation and discussion
12:30 Close
Numbers are very limited, so advance booking only please.
