On several occasions British veterans accosted Jimi for wearing his antique, military, dress uniform. Again, with Jimi Hendrix outfit. They told him to take it off, because he had not earned the right to wear it.

Jimi Hendrix appeared at The Kirklevington Country Club on January 15th, 1967. This Requiem for Hendrix poster was designed by local man, Chris Bailey. The Alan Price Set, Zoot Money and the Big Roll Band, Gino Washington and the Ram Jam Band and John Mayall's Blues Breakers - just a few of the top names appearing on this programme.Little Wing and Castles Made of Sand are two of the classics that feature guitar virtuoso Jimi Hendrix’s clean-toned rhythm work. With pentatonic fills, such as the Little Wing intro, Hendrix’s melodies filled out unaccompanied passages. When he described these moves, he frequently played a root on the downbeat, followed by a chord partial, and then delivered a fill in the later beats. The way Hendrix paced his songs is noticeable; he left plenty of space for unaccompanied passages and vocal phrases.

He's the one who knows how to turn any gathering into a memorable event, infusing it with fun and excitement. Noel went outside and read a sign on the door and told Jimi, “It says clowns will not be served.” A clown convention was in town. They often got out of hand in the pubs, so the pub owner had banned service to them. It seems that Jimi and Noel’s abundant afros, bright colored, bloused shirts and bell bottoms pants caused the bartender to assume they were clowns. He had a lot of influence on the design of his clothes. Jimi Hendrix fashion is a testimony to his personal taste and the creative expertise of his designers.

In September 1970, in the last interview he gave before his death later that month at age 27 following a barbiturate overdose, Hendrix was dismissive of the elaborate outfits he’d become known for. In retrospect, the disavowal feels like a portent: “I look around at new groups like Cactus and Mountain and they’re into those same things with the hair and the clothes—wearing all the jewelry and strangling themselves with beads,” he told a British journalist, Keith Altman. “I got out of that because I felt I was being too loud visually. I got the feeling maybe too many people were coming to look and not enough to listen.” There were extraordinary and unexpected pressures in being so thoroughly and relentlessly scrutinized—and Hendrix felt them. A great friend of ours, Simon Willis – Willy – a producer from Radio 1, died of a brain tumour last year. He was absolutely hilarious and obsessed with music from the 80s, but as his tumour worsened, he kept repeating things. The last time I saw him, he kept singing: “If you choose that we will always lose,” the first line from I’ll Sail This Ship Alone by the Beautiful South. Thinking about him makes me cry.
