The images feature a 25-year-old Jimi Hendrix early in his solo career in London, shortly after his arrival in England the previous September. The photos were taken by Rob Bosboom in January 1967. The session took place at 34 Montagu Square in London. This was the flat rented by Ringo Starr of The Beatles, and it was a significant hub for London’s music scene in the 1960s.
Bosboom was a prominent Dutch music photographer in the 1960s, primarily working for magazines like the Dutch Muziek Express. He developed an especially good relationship with Jimi Hendrix. These images offer a glimpse into Hendrix’s time in London as he launched his solo career with The Jimi Hendrix Experience, before gaining massive fame back in the US at the Monterey Pop Festival later that same year.
