Academy 2 (Main Debating Hall)
5th December 1967

A rare glimpse of an exclusive interview with the Jimi Hendrix Experience conducted in the Students' Union building before their show in the Main Debating Hall whilst touring the Are You Experienced album.

During the interview Jimi talks about his decision to come to England, the burgeoning hippy movement and his inspiration for songwriting. The article also gives a review of the evening's show.

This is a real highlight for the exhibition and we're excited to be sharing it with you.
