“Excellent! - I booked this for my husband’s birthday, we travelled from Birmingham. Keith was such a great host. Friendly and so passionate about his city. I loved how he told us so much about the history of the bands there which we love. The Bunnymen, Pete Wylie, Cast, The Zutons and many more. Loved to see where they rehearsed in The Farm, and many other bands. He showed us pictures too of how things were, it was really personal too and we both got to ask him questions about the bands. Thank you so much Keith it was such a good experience and would so much love to do it again with the other hosts. Keep up the great work for Liverpool, so much needed 👏” - Reviewed on 2024-10-20
