Loved this video. Between 1969 and 1971, Soho was my patch. I rented a tiny little basement photo studio in Gerrard Street, opposite the Tailor & Cutter magazine. To contribute a couple of personal musical reminiscences I once saw John Lennon and Yoko Ono leaving Lee Ho Fook's, in Macclesfield Street. I made De Hems, the Dutch pub which was just opposite, my local, and there one afternoon had the honour of buying a couple of pints for Eric Burdon (of the Animals). To shamelessly take this name dropping to the limit, I should also mention that I also photographed Mary Quant, the inventor of the mini-skirt. Ah, the swinging sixties...

Jules ..........sorry for your loss. The Video (in part as nothing can replace a loved one) is a fitting tribute to your Brother. RIP

Stumbled on this great channel quite by chance. Not sure why he doesn't have a 1m+ subscribers - the content is just what visitors and residents of London need, once you've done the Eye, Madam Tussaud's, History Museum and all that shit.

I’m a HUGE David Bowie fan but I had no ideia these things were in London. I’m staying here for a short while and thanks to your video I was able to get a little “Bowie tour”. Thank you so much!!!

Rest in Paradise Terrence. I too lost someone dear last Saturday. Always they live within our hearts.

OMG, I used to hang out with that bloke in the shades at 11.30. His name is Guy and was one of Bromley's top punks decades ago, and has run a punk club and magazines in Germany ever since. And yes, he was in a Billy Idol video. Billy's mum lived round the corner from him and they were close mates. Great geezer

Thank you for making me feel like I’m London when I’m not in London.

Lost my brother some years ago. RIP to yours Julian.

So sorry for your loss! I'm sure Terence is in heaven playing rock n' roll with the big guys.

You are quite right; a suit in Japanese is indeed called 'se-bi-ro'. Great video BTW...I'm a Bowie fan so it was super interesting discovering new things about him 👍

Joolz you brighten up my day - thank you!

Your video logs are outstanding. I’m so glad I stumbled across them recently!

Thanks Joolz. Always enjoy your guides. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for this very enjoyable tour! Music does indeed rule!

Every Friday night I open a bottle of Vino and watch Joolsz Guide.. I love the history and banter..thanks Joolz!

What I wouldn't give for a time machine so I could visit these places back in the 60's when music history was being made.

Absolutely love you videos. I'm from Scotland, but come to London a couple times a year. Very informative and humerous . Would love to catch you up on your tours one day.

Love your videos! And I love London.

Great vlog...brought back great memories! Cheers!

Falling in love with London again - bravo!

Great video as always. London has so much history, I am a Scot living in Madrid and these videos really inspire me to create better, useful content. If you're ever in Spain I'd love to show you the inside scoop. Also I'm sorry to hear about your brother, I too have lost a sibling and wouldn't wish it on anyone. All you can do is live the best life you can while keeping the memory of him alive.

Cool walk through Soho. Having wished to visit England all my life, this is a great tour of so many wonderful musical memories.

Great stuff!! Always enjoy your tours !!

Totally addictive videos. Love the information. I lived in Britain for 35 years, danced in London where Dean Street was for ballet shoes and auditions, and there is so much I am learning from this video.

Omg! may be most taking it for granted but your stories are gold!! 🤩 love it

So sorry for the loss of your brother! May he Rest in Peace! Loved this episode. Interesting listening to the lyrics of the song.. it's Jolene's answer back to Dolly! xx

I think this might be your best video. Tremendous stuff.

Completely addicted to this channel. Feels like a stroll with an old mate....wonderful stuff!

I love you, Joolz! You make me so happy when I watch your videos. ☺️ Bless you and your family, and I am sure your dear brother's spirit is feeling the love you always convey. ❤️ Thank you for all you do and all that you share. 💗

Sabiro....I live in Japan, have done for 20 years,,,Yes that is true...My wife, a Japanese lady couldnt believe it,,,but is is true. As an aside,,,,,love these videos!! It really does save me from going back to the UK!! The Mrs can see London,,,,without going there!! Thank you young fella,,,,Just so good!

That was awesome, thanks!

Another excellent video, Joolz. I've lost brothers and know how much it hurts. My condolences

Brilliant as always!!

From Sydney Australia, enjoyed this, thank you.

Awesome videos Joolz. We'll definitely sign up for one (or more) of your personal tours when they allow us to start travelling again! (Some of your Canadian fans)

A nice fun tour of Soho. Thanks Joolz.

Cheers for this & the other great videos. Also cheers for helping me discover the awesome track being played here, top man 👍

Brilliant. I find myself enjoying Joolz Guides videos all the more since lockdown began in March last year. Initially it was 'to tide me over until we're back to normal again'. Increasingly starting to fear they are relics from a lost golden age.

Amazing! Thank you Joolz!

Deeply sorry about your loss. Sending much love and prayers.💙🙏🏻 God bless you now and always.

I've forgotten how great a city London is but your videos are reminding me again. In 1997 I stayed a week near the British Museum and would walk to and fro from Soho and Soho Square every day. It felt like the center of the world at that time. Have been to the city 3 times (from Canada) and am vowing to go back in the not too distant future.

Another great vid

Thanks Julian!!! Another great and stunning video. Sorry for the loss of your brother.

I can’t wait to get back to London in December! Let’s all pray for little or NO rain... thank you for another great tour!

This is a bloody great video. Lotsa solid info told in a fascinating maner. Thank you.

Always Amazing!

Julian u don't need the BBC . utube is the way to go nowadays. can guarantee u'll get far and beyond your dreams . . u r right on track Jul!

Another good one Julian!

Great video sir. We stayed in Soho this summer. What a great city! We drank in the same pub you end the video in (best beer we had in London) Keep up the good work. The videos bring me back to our vacation. Can't wait to go back. Cheers!

It’s a bit late but sorry for your loss of your brother jules,great video,Chris

Well done Joolz, another highly entertaining and informative video, and loving the music too, so much so I've just acquired your sisters album on spotify

Thank you for having such a high opinion of us, your viewers/fans that you would share with us the loss of your brother. I am truly humbled and offer my most sincere condolences to you and your family. This is actually one of my favourite videos, thank you for sharing it. Sincerely, Jon

Great work, Joolz. ❤️

Absolutly fantastic!!

This video, as well as others in this channel, is a gem!

Brilliant vids and I will certainly be taking a tour with you sooner mate. Sorry to hear of your loss.

Hey Joolz...., Been watching your RU-vid videos via my vpn here on China. You've helped me understand so much more about London and I'll be visiting soon and will definitely follow your advice. Many thanks. 😊

Great work. Congrats.

Excellent work again, Joolz.

Love it...this is the video I’ve been waiting for. I was in London back in July and I’m mad I missed some of these locations. I did find the Roxy in Convent Garden though. It’s a Speedo store now. They politely asked me to stop filming when I was in the store. Sorry to hear about your brother.

Great video!

Great video..will now watch the others..tremendous.

Loved this.... not least for introducing me to Lil' Lost Lou - classic stuff

Just found your channel today joolz. Brilliant very interesting. I worked in London for some time and been in some of the places you've shown in various videos . Never imagined the interesting facts about them . My new favourite channel 👍

I remember once playing In a punk band in 1981 supporting Chelsea (Gene October) in Meard Street but it was then known as Gossips

Sorry to hear about your brother passing away! 😢 Thanks for another great video...!!!

perfect like usually. Thank You sir.

Fascinating. Keep going....

I love the music on these videos, Joolz should do a playlist somewhere

Just discovered your videos Joolz, love'em! I'm going through a bit of turmoil at the moment with poorly parents, but when we're through it I'd love to come on one of your music tours. Keep up the awesome work mate, extremely interesting. Love the soundtrack btw. 😁

Love all the music history in Soho

Great video as usual! So sorry to hear about your brother. RIP Terence.

One of your best Joolz. It brought back many memories of my teens. So sorry to hear about your brother. Perhaps in his memory.......... A Julian and family lived here dedication? Rest in peace Terence.

Stopped in this channel by accident and right after the second video i suscribed. What amazing videos and best of all what an amazing way to explain every place. I lived as an exchange student in london and i wished i could of seen this videos before, oh well just another reason to go back.

RIP Terence. May God put him in eternal heaven. This video is a gem. Thanks for the musical history for the Soho area. Never knew it is so rich in music. I have subscribed to your channel recently and loving it. I owe you a pint. Regards

Que buen paseo, cuanta historia musical en Londres . La proxima vez que viaje hare este recorrido . Saludos desde Argentina !!!

Another brilliant film Joolzs, enjoyed it immensly. Sorry to hear about your brother Terence, sad times.

Another great video.

Fantastic vid how did I miss this one always watch your vids you have me laughing out loud , sorry to hear about your brother Terence last year.

Steve Jones lived there. It was their rehearsal room. They filmed a few videos in there most notably the footage for No Feelings. The guy who owns the guitar shop likes to mess people about saying you can go see then drawings, and then pretending he's not the person you spoke to... The first ever Pistols gig was there indeed and they fell out with Bazooka Joe and had to wheel their gear over the road from Denmark St. I could go on and on about that area. Goth started in Leeds and Wakefield of course, and I remember going to the Batcave when we played down there. Also the Marquee when that was on Wardour St. Soho was a great area.

Love it mate

What a great and highly entertaining video. Must do this tour one day.

Brilliant this one

Wow!!! now there is some incredible music history!

@Joolz Guides ... So very sorry to hear about your Brother Terence. I am sure He would have appreciated this lovely tribute Joolz ... much peace to you and your Brother.

Brilliant Joolz - i love it - again i wonder why you do not have 1 million! I will get the tour soon!!!! this makesme proud to be British!

You are So much Fun!♡

Amazing you make so many people want to follow you around on that tour! I for one would be like a giddy child in a candy store walking around there!

Brilliant video - love watching your videos being a Croydon gal. So much knowledge - Thanks so much - RIP Terence. Rock on

Fantástico vídeo!! Thank you very much from Málaga, Spain!! Cheers!!

Brilliant! Thanks..... Subscribed:)

I'm very sorry to here of your brothers passing. Another great video. Thanks for bringing London to me.

brilliant video, Julian!! What I wouldn't give to be there, taking the actual tour and listening to your facts in situ. One day... Now I want to listen to every album you mentioned here! have a great week and thanks for making this.

I'm sorry for your loss, Jules. It was thanks to this video that I found out that we had to go to the end of the street to find the famous telephone kiosk. I just wanted to thank you, you made my visit to London very special.

Brilliant as per usual! Video coming up about Kensington maybe?? 🤞🏼😁

Rock n roll tour!!!!!!!!! What a best tour I’ve ever had!!!!!

It was the second door, I was a cloak room boy there when it was known as Gossips which was still mostly a goth and rock club a good 15yrs ago. I never knew the whole time I was there that it was formally known as the Bat Cave but there was a small area out the back that was referred to as the Batcave.
