Jimi Hendrix pop-up store #HendrixCarnaby

The first ever Jimi Hendrix pop-up store is to be opened in Soho, London to celebrate the release of “People, Hell and Angels“.

The store will open for a limited time only from Monday 1 April – Friday 12 April 2013 at 8 Ganton Street London, just off the world-famous Carnaby Street. The store will sell a limited collection of merchandise and will feature Fender ‘Plug & Play demo stations’ in addition to hosting a Gered Mankowitz photography exhibition.

Janie L. Hendrix, Jimi Hendrix’s sister and President/CEO of Experience Hendrix, L.L.C., will make a special appearance at the store, signing copies of the new book Jimi Hendrix: The Ultimate Lyric Book from 4-6pm on the opening evening, Monday 1 April.

World renowned music photographer, Gered Mankowitz, will be making a special appearance at the store from 3-6pm on Saturday 6 April, where he will be talking about working with Jimi Hendrix, and will be available to sign prints of his work, which have been printed for the pop-up store.

The Jimi Hendrix pop-up store will feature the new album “People, Hell and Angels” as well as the entire Jimi Hendrix music and video catalogue (including CDs, LPs, DVDs and Blu-ray releases), including a number of titles that have never been available in the UK. It will also sell authorized limited edition Jimi Hendrix merchandise, including clothing, posters, art, books, collectible items, and guitar accessories including pick tins, guitar straps, and effects pedals.

The pop-up store is a stone’s throw away from many of the legendary venues synonymous with Jimi Hendrix’s time in the capital including Bag O’ Nails, Ronnie Scott’s, Marquee Club, The Speakeasy and is in close proximity to his former central London flat on 23 Brook Street.

The pop-up store coincides with the release of “People, Hell and Angels”, an essential new album premiering twelve previously unreleased studio recordings completed by guitarist Jimi Hendrix. “People, Hell and Angels” is available now, digitally, as part of Classic Rock Presents: Hendrix – People, Hell and Angels Collector’s Pack, and as standalone physical releases on CD and LP.
