An afternoon to treasure - The passion that Nasher has for his home city is evident, and it comes across in his tour of iconic music venues. The tour was very informative and relaxed, and offered me the chance to chat and get pictures with one of my teenage music idols. I'd have no hesitation in recommending this tour. Superb value for money.

A top tour with a top guy - This tour is something a little different to the usual. Where in the world can you walk around a city with a member of an iconic band and learn not only about Frankie but much more about the musical history of the City?
Nasher is so accessible and has plenty of time to chat to everyone on the tour. He has a little story to tell on every corner of the city, and you will learn loads about Frankie, The Beatles and much more, all told in a natural, humorous way.
We had such a great laugh with him and all the great people on the tour. He buys you a pint in The Bridewell pub where Frankie was formed, happily signs whatever memorabilia you may have brought, and continues the stories prompted by whatever question you may have.
I took my 12-year-old, who knows a bit about Frankie and The Beatles, but he was fascinated by Nasher and his tales.
We genuinely would recommend this tour to anyone who loves their music and the city of Liverpool. Even the slightest Frankie, Beatles or music fan will love this.

Best moment of my life - We had the best time ever! Nasher went above and beyond to make our tour so memorable. He was so open and let us ask as many questions as we wanted. Totally charming. It was great to walk around listening to him! I was so excited to meet Nasher and he was absolutely lovely with us! Thankyou so very much for your patience and kindness and for making my dream come true! Very funny too! I absolutely recommend this tour.

Meeting A Hero - I was obviously aware of Frankie Goes To Hollywood and my wife was, in her formative years, in love with Brian Nasher Nash, the band’s lead guitarist.
Nasher turned up bang on time where he told us to meet and proceeded to welcome us all warmly. I don’t know what I expected, but he well exceeded whatever hopes we had. He was warm, genuine and very friendly.
The tour was fascinating and his depth of knowledge incredible. Although the Beatles obviously featured, they weren’t the only ones covered. Nasher took us to various landmarks that you would ordinarily stroll past without a thought. One of them was the now bin store for a fast food outlet. Back in the day, it was an underground music venue, graced by musical giants such as David Bowie. The door is all that remains, the venue filled in and forgotten.
Afterwards, Nasher took us to one of his locals and stayed chatting and signing things for a good couple of hours. He was so kind, looking through my wife’s photos from her trip to a Frankie gig in the 80s and chatting away with us.
If you ever get the chance to meet this legend and go on his tour, you will NOT be disappointed. I would wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone and would love to go again.
Thank you, Nasher! Loved every single second of being in your company.

Nasher does Liverpool - Absolutely fantastic insight into the 80s music scene in Liverpool. Nasher was a fantastic host with a wealth of knowledge and personal experiences. I would highly recommend this icon tour to anyone that would love to delve deeper into the early music scene and the places frequented by the stars. And the icing on the cake was having a beer or two with the man himself and listening to all his Frankie stories.
Keep up the excellent work Nasher, from Paul Hollywood & Lisa the L31 club !

Liverpool Off the Beaten Track - I had a wonderful Music Icons Tour on May 18th 2024, led by former Frankie goes to Hollywood guitarist Brian 'Nasher' Nash. As a musician and 100% Liverpudlian, Brian was able to entertain a party of 12 and tell them very insightful stories about Liverpool and its musical history, which went beyond just The Beatles. Besides that I had the opportunity to meet one of my 80s musical heroes.
I highly recommend this tour, as Liverpool and its musical heritage has infintely much to offer, and Nasher is just a very cool and friendly guy :)

Welcome to the Nasherdome- a incredible Liverpool Sightseeing Tour with Brian Nash - It was a wonderful tour. Brian can tell you so much about Liverpool, he has an incredibly diverse range of knowledge, especially on all musical topics. He garnishes this with lots of little anecdotes. Since Liverpool is of course very closely connected to Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Brian can of course give a lot of first-hand information about the history of this band and places in Liverpool that are connected to this great band. We stopped twice for a short break and a drink, always accompanied by great stories, of which Brian really has an endless supply. I gave myself this tour for my birthday and what could be better than spending your birthday on a very interesting tour with a lot of information about musical Liverpool with Brian Nash. The tour was great, every musically interested visitor to Liverpool MUST book this tour. And Brian is just a really great guy.
