Leon Hendrix

On September 24th 1966 Jimi Hendrix arrived in London for the first time. Only a matter of hours later he had borrowed a guitar and was playing his first impromptu gig at The Scotch of St James with his manager Chas Chandler, future girlfriend Kathy Etchingham and The Who’s Pete Townshend among those in attendance.After opening the Hendrix Flat in Brook Street, the place Jimi called his ‘first real home’, Handel & Hendrix in London are now bringing Hendrix back to the Scotch as part of a whole weekend of celebrations to mark this iconic moment in London’s musical history.Very special guest Leon Hendrix, Jimi’s younger brother, will be performing alongside John Campbell, lead guitarist with ‘Are You Experienced’, to bring the Hendrix sound back to the same venue Jimi played on his first night in London.
