Tour 6 – Experiencing Hendrix in London
For Reservations please call 1 800 815 4003
Tour Description:
Afternoon Tour and Evening Show
We commemorate the death of Jimi every year with a definitive tour of Hendrix’s London, and an evening gig featuring top tribute band, ‘Are You Experienced’ at the famed Troubadour Club or Scotch of St James club. This year we’re part of the growing ‘Hendrix in London’ festival week which includes gigs around the city, Hendrix films shown in historic locations, talks on the great man, art and photo exhibitions at top London galleries, special ‘open-house’ entries and tours of special locations, and many other Hendrix-related events.
See what else is on during the Hendrix commemorative week (17th September – 24th September 2017)
Our tour visits a range of sites covering Jimi’s four-year history in London; from Zoot Money’s flat, his first port of call on landing in September 24th 1966, to the apartment where he died on September 18th 1970.
We include hotels and houses where Jimi lived, clubs where he played, recording studios he used, locations where lyrics where written, where he burned his first guitar, shop sites where he purchased his amazing clothes and personal instruments, and locations where album, PR and video shoots were taken.
During the afternoon, you’ll learn all about Jimi’s times in London, the formation of the ‘Experience’, the politics, the drugs, the girlfriends, the music; and have it set in the context of the ‘swinging sixties’ of which he was so much apart. We make full use of our DVD and CD playing facilities to watch and listen to historic performances. And with an expert Hendrix guide to accompany you throughout, you can expect a memorable day of historical information and fun! Whether you’re a hard-core Hendrix fan, or want to learn more about his life and times, this is the tour.
