Jimi Hendrix

The Woburn Music Festival, presented by the Melody Maker in conjunction with Rik & John Gunnell and by courtesy of His Grace the Duke of Bedford, was held over two days on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 July, 1968. The festival saw the only official UK performance of the Jimi Hendrix Experience during that year. The band's previous UK performance was at the Christmas On Earth Continued concert at London's Olympia on 22 December, 1967. After Woburn, the band did not play in the UK again until 18 and 24 February, 1969.
