Sefton Park
Wandelen in en rond de prachtige Victoriaanse oase dat is Sefton Park, zult u zien waarom het werd uitgeroepen in 2024 door The Times als een van de beste plaatsen om te wonen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk, Sefton Park strekt zich lui over 235 hectare rustige, prachtige landschappen en waterwegen. Het is een waar juweeltje in de kroon van onze stad, met een fascinerende eigen geschiedenis, maar de rol van het park als thuis en inspiratiebron voor zoveel muzikanten door de jaren heen sinds de opening, als decor, als kunstenaarsmuze en zelfs vandaag de dag als live locatie is waar we hier over willen praten. Van Bjork tot de Bunnymen, van vroege Arctic Monkeys tot de smashhits van Atomic Kitten tot Africa Oyé - de grootste gratis viering van Afrikaanse muziek en cultuur in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Het is allemaal hier. Van George Melly, George Formby en George Harrison tot parkdesignlegende Edouard André, Jamie Webster en The 1975. Van Frankie naar The Farm. Van Love tot The La’s, Pulp tot The Stone Roses... je snapt het. Niet alles draait om The Beatles (ook al noemen we ze wel)!

Reizigersreviews
Fanatically interesting and entertaining exploration of the musical landscape of Sefton Park, joining the dots between George Formby and Echo and the Bunnymen, Teardrop Explodes and Courtney Love. Tourguide Paul was fun and likeable. A great way to spend an afternoon.
Great tour by Paul recently. He's really knowledgeable and passionate, with his enthusiasm shining through. I'm a fan of the early 80's Liverpool music scene however learnt a few nuggets of extra info, alongside some local history too - a great two hours well spent. Get yourselves booked and down there! 😎
I spent the glorious Bank Holiday Monday with five other guests on a two hour guided tour of the Seton Park area experiencing the history of the culture area. From the founding of St Michael's in the Hamlet to a side street that changed the history of music in the 1990s, via tales of The Bunnymen, The Teardrop Explodes, Courtney Love, Jimmy McGovern, the creation of the park itself and ultimately the story of a cardigan that cost 80p in a Belgian shop and ended up being worth a fortune. The two hours flew by with Paul being a fantastic, entertaining, informative and insightful host. It's a great experience in a lovely area and I highly highly recommend it.
Paul really knows his stuff. I went on the tour as someone who grew up on the music of the early 80’s Liverpool post punk scene. But there were so many gems, and fascinating stories I was unaware of, and being told these “on location” really painted a picture. That’s not to say that’s all this tour is about, there’s history a plenty right from the off, St Michael’s Station, the church, St Charles on Aigburth Road, Lark Lane & Sefton Park itself. Landowners, Steel Magnates, Alternative Clergy, Artists, Musicians it’s all in there. Two hours flew by walking in a beautiful part of the city. Get yourselves booked on!
Paul has personality and friendliness in bags and was great at filling the sizeable gaps in my own knowledge of growing in the 80s and listening to and going to see Liverpool bands. We saw where The Bunnymen lived, where Nasher was working when he heard Relax was a hit, where Larks In the Parks was staged, all brought back lots of great memories. I thought I knew a lot but it was a real education. The 2-hour walk and talk was comfortable, very interesting and ended on the very popular Lark Lane. Great value for money.
Thank You, wonderful Paul! What a great walk, what a wide knowledge, what wonderful stories! From the Bunny-Vatican to 15-year-old Björk and the stolen Cardigan! Lovely walk we will not forget!
The Music & Art Tour of Sefton Park was an insightful and amusingly funny walk around a part of Liverpool I knew little about, until now. Paul our tour guide was a fantastic raconteur, who has vast knowledge of the area and revealed wonderful tales of the artists and musicians who inhabited the streets, at every turn. From George Formby to Echo & The Bunnymen, from George Melly to Julian Cope, there was a great story to tell. I would highly recommend without hesitation. If you want to know a bit more about the music, culture and history of the great city of Liverpool, this tour is essential.
Interesting and informative,Paul the guide knowledgeable and humerous.Wife local to the area able to share some fables and tales.
