Lot Essay
Biographies of Hendrix do not document every occasion that Hendrix jammed with The Brian Auger Trinity in the various clubs around London. Although Caesar Glebbeek mentions one occasion when Jimi jammed with the Brian Auger Trinity at Blaises in London in September 1966, according to him, Hendrix was only in London for two of the Monday's between May 1967-July 1967 when The Brian Auger Trinity held their Monday night residency spot at the Speakeasy. It would appear however from the eye witness accounts documented in the accompanying letters, that Hendrix played this guitar on several occasions in several London clubs including The Speakeasy, Blaises, The Scotch Of St. James and the Bag O'Nails.
