James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix; November 27, 1942– September 18, 1970) was an American guitarist and singer-songwriter. He is widely considered to be the greatest guitarist in musical history, and one of the most influential musicians of his era across a range of genres.
|
After initial success in Europe with his group The Jimi Hendrix Experience, he achieved fame in the United States following his 1967 performance at the Monterey Pop Festival. Later, Hendrix headlined the iconic 1969 Woodstock Festival and the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival. He often favored raw overdriven amplifiers with high gain and treble and helped develop the previously undesirable technique of guitar amplifier feedback.
Hendrix, as well as his friend Eric Clapton, popularized use of the wah-wah pedal in mainstream rock which he often used to deliver an exaggerated sense of pitch in his solos, particularly with high bends, complex guitar playing, and use of legato. As a record producer, Hendrix also broke new ground in using the recording studio as an extension of his musical ideas. He was one of the first to experiment with stereophonic phasing effects for rock recording.
Early on September 18, 1970, Jimi Hendrix died in London. He had spent the latter part of the previous evening at a party and was picked up at close to 3:00 by girlfriend Monika Dannemann and driven to her flat at the Samarkand Hotel, 22 Lansdowne Crescent, Notting Hill. From autopsy data and statements by friends about the evening of September 17, it has been estimated that he died sometime after 3:00, possibly before 4:00, but also possibly later, though no estimate was made at the autopsy, or inquest.
Settle back then and enjoy The Sunday Session between 3.00 - 4.00 CET and repeated 15:00 - 16:00 CET.

Our NEW T-Shirt for 2013!
Rock Head |

Visual artist Aernout Voorthuijsen (1955) who lives in Friesland, was born in Amsterdam. His artworks (paintings in oil on canvas and works on paper) uniquely combine a modern and direct style that is related to raw punk and street art with classical themes derived from Christian sources. Voorthuijsen is significantly influenced by music – in his case (heavy) rock and punk/metal music. He produces artworks on commission, preferably on a large scale, for companies and private individuals. |
Radio Seagull is pleased to announce that we are using one of Aernout’s ‘Rock Head’ as the design for our latest T Shirt for 2013.
This unique design from one of the Netherlands top artist is exclusive to Radio Seagull and is available from our Café Press shop which you can access by clicking the Merchandise tab |

A big thank you to England’s Telegraph newspaper which has named Radio Seagull its internet radio station of the month. This is what the Telegraph wrote:
“As if to prove that the spirit of Sixties-style pirate broadcasting never really died, this charming music station broadcasts from a ship moored in Harlingen Harbour in the Netherlands. Prog rock is the predominant flavour, with plenty of Genesis, Pink Floyd and the like; but genres as diverse as UK blues, world music and jazz also get a look in.” |
