Handel Hendrix House

Handel, of course, born in what is now Germany, and he actually became a naturalized, um, British subject by an act of Parliament.

If anybody wants to know, uh, more about, um, Handel in London, uh, you can visit Hendrix and Handel House on Brook Street, which was Handel's first house, and that was like a new build when he moved in.

We have episode 63, which John Donegan from, from the house, I talked to him about that.

And then also in addition to that, there is episode 57, um, and that's talking about the, the Gerald Coke Handel collection, which is a whole beast in itself.

Guitarist Ronnie Wood has spoken to NME about his new Jimi Hendrix exhibition showcasing a collection of his paintings and sketches of the rock legend while teasing what the future holds for the Rolling Stones.

The art exhibit titled Ronnie Wood: The Jimi Hendrix Portraits, the exhibition is now open at the Handel Hendrix House Museum, Jimi Hendrix's former apartment on Brook Street, Mayfair, which is next door to the home where German British composer George Frederick Handel resided two centuries earlier.

When he was asked about going back on the road with the Rolling Stones, he said, "When my compadres say let's go, I'll be ready.

I've got no plans yet though except my plans to play South America with my AMO band next.

But this is so bizarre that I just, I, I at least wanna put it out there.

So the, the museum is called the Handel Hendrix House.

So Jimi, like, kinda rose to popularity, and then really exploded living in London, right? And then kinda came back to the States, and his explosion continued.

But he spent m- he was kinda back and forth constantly, but, like, his last month of life was here in London, and he lived on, in this Brook Street flat.

What's the vibe like in the exhibition?

It's called Ronnie Wood: The Jimi Hendrix Portraits, and it's at the Handel Hendrix House Museum.

They've got new and unseen portraits.

That's awesome.

It was where he lived for a few years anyway.

And it's called the Handel Hendrix House because in a weird twist of fate, he lived literally next door to where Handel, the famous classical composer, lived yesterday.

about a hundred or so years earlier.

So they combined the two houses, turned it into the Handel Hendrix house, double house.

It's actually kind of a cool place to go.

In 1971, the musical television sitcom Getting Together, starring pop idol Bobby Sherman, premiered on ABC television.
