It is the dream of every frustrated rocker who swapped their Stratocaster for the Stock Exchange — an opportunity to thrash away at My Generation beside Roger Daltrey.

Now it’s time to dust off the leather jacket and hold in that paunch as wealthy middle-aged fans finally get to jam with their idols at Britain’s first Rock’n’Roll Fantasy Camp.

For an eye-watering £9,000 for a six-day course, campers will eat, drink, jam — and possibly sleep — with some veterans from the British rock scene.

Daltrey and Brian Wilson, of the Beach Boys, were among the stars who attended a similar event in the US. When it was featured in an episode of The Simpsons, Homer joined the Rolling Stones. Participants will be handed top-of-the-range instruments and Marshall amplifiers, then whipped into shape at intensive daily ten-hour jam sessions. A tour bus will take them from a Mayfair hotel to the Abbey Road studios in northwest London for a recording session with the stars. The show then goes on the road with a gig performing Beatles hits at the Cavern Club in Liverpool. Camp counsellors at the May event include Jack Bruce, the bass player of Cream. He will spend a week leading fellow bass players through Cream classics. Gary Brooker, the singer and pianist with Procul Harum, will demonstrate the keyboard line to Whiter Shade of Pale — the subject of a court case last year.

Spencer Davis, of Gimme Some Lovin’ fame, will tutor in songwriting with members of Black Sabbath and Bad Company. The organisers claim that they are in advanced discussion to sign up a member of the Rolling Stones as camp leader. If tour commitments with The Who permit, Daltrey will visit the camp, which has raised funds for the teenage cancer charity that he supports.

The rock stars promise to join the campers for after-hours refreshment, where anecdotes from the road will be traded. Investment advice from campers is welcome in return. But those who think this is a holiday with the stars are in for a shock. “They are not here to throw TVs out of the hotel window. They have to reach a professional musical standard,” David Fishof, the New York-based businessman who devised the concept, said.

“They are going to be filmed and recorded at the gig. Roger Daltrey told one camp at rehearsals that they had to take the music up another level if they wanted him to sing.”

Spouses often buy the camp experience as a gift for their partners. British campers will leave with a sore head and a rock memento — a fantasy camp tour jacket.

According to the organisers, those who took a week off Wall Street to reclaim youthful dreams said the experience had changed their lives. There is no record, however, of their families’ reactions as they watched the free DVD of their husbands and fathers rocking out. The corporatisation of rock has advanced in Britain with Hedgestock, a summer networking festival attended by 4,000 financiers at Knebworth House, headlined by The Who.

The camp is an emotional rite of passage for rockers of a certain age. Guy Zomick, 42, a lawyer, joined the E Street Band to sing Bruce Springsteen’s Thunder Road on his first day at the New York camp. “I could have gone home right after that,” he said. “I had tears in my eyes when I finished.”

Tony Blair has often expressed a desire to relive his days as lead singer of his university band, Ugly Rumours. He once said that had he been blessed with a voice like Paul Rodgers, lead singer of the Seventies’ group Free, he would not have gone into politics.
