We started the tour meeting up at an easy to find spot in the East Village. Bobby introduced himself & gave a short intro with a meet n greet with fellow tourers. Bobby navigated us around old venues & locations of significance to rock n roll history. He came came across as guy who clearly lives & breaths music & it's history, with a passion to keep the this very much alive with his informative tours. Bobby helps build a picture on the various stops with showing you LP covers & pictorial imagery. We finished at where CBGB's used to be, this was overwhelming to me as hadn't realised it is now a clothes & vinyl shop...literally thought it was derelict so I was overjoyed to be told by Bobby you could go in & take a look. Inside is preserved flyers & posters from the club that you can take a look at & the shop assistants are more than happy for you to take pictures & assist you if you need anything. Bobby also finished the tour with a very handy leaflet he had created including clothing, bars & links to cool places relevant to music. If you appreciate good music this tour is for you & the East Village is the place to be 🤘🏻

Really glad we did this tour. A pilgrimage to some significant and important sites in the history of rock and roll, guided by a man with a wealth of knowledge and passion for the music and the area.

Great walk around east village and alphabet city. Bobby was great. Informative and lots of background info. Wasn’t just the pink scene, was the music scene in that area.
