The Handel House Museum in London has just opened its doors to the Jimi Hendrix Museum, a carefully reconstructed replica of Jimi’s former Mayfair attic flat at 23 Brook St, where he briefly lived during 1968-’69; two centuries before that, George Frideric Handel lived next door at number 25.
Trevor Reekie talks to Dr Christian Lloyd, author of Hendix At Home: A Bluesman in Mayfair, and Michelle Aland, director of the Handel House Trust, about Jimi’s short but influential period of London life.
