About the Author
David Souden is a historian, author and museum/exhibition professional. His most recent work has been re-presentation at Middleport Pottery, Stoke-on-Trent, a BBC memorial picture biography of Queen Elizabeth II, and the permanent exhibition at Winchester Cathedral. Handel Hendrix House cares for and presents to the public the homes of two of the greatest musicians ever to have lived in London. George Frideric Handel lived at 25 Brook Street from 1723 until his death in 1759. It was here that Handel wrote and rehearsed his greatest works, including Messiah. In 1968, Jimi Hendrix moved into an adjoining flat at number 23. Here, in the only place he said he felt truly at home, Hendrix entertained, inspired and collaborated with other icons of British '60s rock music.
