Join us as we go to see the Hendrix in Britain Exhibition at the the Handel House Museum

Commemorating the 40th anniversary of Jimi Hendrix's death, this exhibition explores the London life, music, performances and legacy of the musician. The show features rarely seen images and film clips, as well as ephemera such as handwritten lyrics and clothing, and charts Hendrix's rise to fame while exploring his contribution to music.

The show also features some beautiful and enthralling objects for any music fan, including the Gibson Flying V, the guitar Hendrix commissioned and called the Flying Angel, best known for being used by him at the legendary Isle of Wight festival.

Probably the most unusual and interesting aspect about this exhibition is its setting. It is at the Handel House Museum, the 18th Century townhouse the composer George Frederic Handel called home for 36 years. Hendrix also called this house home, living in the upstairs flat with his girlfriend, Kathy Etchingham, when he first came to England in 1968.
There are definitely parallels to be drawn between the two men – both musicians, both considered geniuses and pioneering in their field, and both foreign artists who found recognition in Britain.

Tickets are £5 and can be purchased on the day. We will meet in front of the museum at 12.00. Afterwards we will go to a local cafe for a drink/meal
