Leading online travel experience platform GetYourGuide today launches The Paloma Faith Music Tour. An unforgettable experience that ventures into London’s eclectic music and theatrical scene; from its iconic past to contemporary immersive experiences. Guided by Paloma Faith who will share her unique perspective from growing up and developing her career in the capital.
The Hackney-born singer has worked as a dancer, performance artist, life-drawing model, magician’s assistant, barmaid, and actress, and if that’s not enough titles to squeeze under her be-jewelled belt, she is now stepping into the role of ‘Guide’ in her own unique way. From her hometown in the East End to her playground in London’s West End, Paloma will take people on a tour through London’s vibrant music scene, sharing her memories and stories in the places where they happened.
The one-of-a-kind Music Tour of London allows travellers to visit iconic music venues and delve into the diverse arts scene that London is famous for in a four hour experience. Launching today via an exclusive raffle, travellers will start on London’s iconic Brick Lane, heading straight to Flashback Records, one of the true original independent vinyl shops, where Paloma will help them hunt for music and choose a few of her favourite records for people to listen to. Next, travellers will meander past the infamous street art, before arriving at one of the East End’s hidden gems – the world’s oldest music hall, Wilton’s, where they’ll also get the chance to try an East-End classic – jellied eels.
Taking iconic London Black Cabs to the West End, it’s time to take a trip down memory lane as the artist will talk through some of her most iconic music stories whilst walking down London’s Street of Sound, Denmark Street. Finally, travellers will step into the immersive world of The Kit Kat Club at the legendary Playhouse Theatre, where the lights will be dimmed, the drinks will be poured and people will learn thrilling secrets in the access-all area tour.
Paloma Faith commented: “I grew up in Hackney, I’m an extremely proud Londoner and was really influenced by the rich tapestry of music and culture that makes London one of the most iconic cities to visit for music and arts. When GetYourGuide asked me to curate and guide an experience of London through my eyes I immediately said sign me up! Curating this experience to guide travellers and music lovers alike around the city has been a really fun process – these aren’t the usual haunts you’d see on a traditional tour of London. I can’t wait to take people on the tours and impart all my personal experiences about the city.”
Adding to over 100,000 other travel experiences available to discover on GetYourGuide, The Paloma Faith Music Tour taps into the growing demand for passion-based travel. A recent survey highlighted 44% of travellers choose destinations based on their passions, such as music, to see cities through a unique lens, and more than four in five (85%) of British travellers say that when they travel they are looking to be inspired by discovering “new” experiences.
James Barker, UK Brand Lead at GetYourGuide commented: “As a leading platform to discover and book unforgettable travel experiences, we’re driven to curate experiences which exemplify the passions that inspire us to travel, helping travellers uncover the special sides of a destination with an expert guide. London is renowned for its eclectic music and arts scene, so we wanted to create a truly original tour with a local legend and bring their unique perspective of the capital’s vibrant musical heritage. With born and bred Londoner Paloma Faith as our guide, we’ll bring travellers closer to their passions and offer a truly unforgettable experience – whether you’re heading to the capital, or already in London.”
