Complete Portugal by Train
If you’re keen to explore the origins of different music genres – not just where they come from but also why they spring into existence where they do – we think Portugal is the perfect place to visit with your class. Music is integral to Portuguese culture, something which is abundantly clear across the jazz bars and independent venues of Porto and Lisbon, the start and end points of our eight-day Rail Trip. Without doubt the most culturally significant contribution to music this country has offered, however, is fado. This soulful form of folk music is still played all over the country come nightfall, and you’ll get to experience a live show on our first night in Lisbon. It is an extraordinary form of music to see live, and particularly valuable to singers and songwriters who want to know how to pour their heart and soul into a song and performance.

Fairytale Ireland
Ireland’s musical heritage is not dissimilar to that of fado music, with much of the heart and soul of the Irish people expressed via close-quarter performances in cosy pubs. Irish folk music usually consists of strings and woodwinds – usually the smaller varieties, so you can play it around a pub table! – accompanied by moving ditties ranging from comedy to tragedy. Our week-long tour of Ireland includes the opportunity to experience live music in Dublin, enjoy an evening of song at Oscar Madison’s Bar in Kinsale and at Dick Mack’s pub in Dingle, as well as experiencing the lively nightlife of Galway, home to The Garavan and Tigh Nora. You’ll gain a fascinating insight into the variety of paths folk music can go down, as well as the enviable skills of half-cut musicians playing in effortless harmony. Just don’t drink too much Guinness and forget all you’ve learnt!

Japan by Train: The Grand Tour
Japan, in many ways, is fascinating for its blend of the old and new. This is no different when it comes to music. This is a part of the world that loves pop music, but it also has a truly ancient relationship with song. You’ll get to learn about this first hand in Tokyo with a fascinating Taiko drumming class, where you’ll learn to master the rhythmic art of this pulsating form of percussion music. These drums were used as early as the sixth century, most likely during military action and religious ceremonies. In more modern times their significance has remained, featuring regularly in theatrical performances and even social justice movements. Having spent a morning on the drums, you’ll then spend an evening in one of Tokyo’s most entertaining karaoke bars – when in Rome!
