[Rob MacKillop]

No, not the TV program Last week I noticed two musician's blue plaques next door to each other. The one on the right is the house of the great Baroque composer, George Friedrich Handel. The one on the left is Jimi Hendrix. Tis a pity they missed each other by a few years...

Nice observation Rob. Is that where Hendrix died?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I don't think so. He only lived there for one year. He died in 1970, but the sign say this was 68-69.

Well spotted Rob. I hear they have had to cut back on plaques due to lack of finance.
