A museum based in Jimi Hendrix’s old flat in London is searching for anyone who may have seen the legendary rock star perform when he came to Carlisle in 1967.

Hendrix came to the Lonsdale in Carlisle on Friday, April 7, 1967, which was before he became one of the most famous rockstars in the world.

Topping the bill that evening were The Walker Brothers with Engelbert Humperdinck and Cat Stevens both ahead of Hendrix who was fourth on the bill.

In the following three until his untimely death at the age of 27, Hendrix was the amongst the most famous faces in the world and is regularly ranked as the greatest guitar player of all time.

There are many legendary stories about Hendrix’s gigs – including when he missed the photocall for the gig in Carlisle as he was having a pint in what is now the Border Rambler on Botchergate.

As part of a new exhibition about Jimi Hendrix’s music and influence, the museum hopes to source people’s memories and personal photographs of times they experienced Jimi at a gig, in a club or just out and about.

The memories and images will be captured on a dedicated webpage and a selection will be included in an exciting new documentary film played in the exhibition.

The museum wants to create a film that truly evokes the world Hendrix lived in, so snaps of fans at gigs are as welcome as photographs of the legendary guitarist himself.

“We hope Hendrix fans will want to see their memories, photographs and even film included in this new exhibition” said Claire Davies, Deputy Director of the Handel & Hendrix museum in London.

“It’s time to get up into the attic and dig out those photograph albums and cine film from the 1960s, reminisce and then go to our website to tell us what you can share!”
