1966.
〰 Jimi meets Noel Redding during an audition at the Birdland club.
After his audition at the Birdland, Noel was asked by Chas if he could play bass guitar, Noel said no, but he would give it a try. Chas lent Noel his bass guitar, so Noel sat in with Jimi, Nero (Mike O’Neill) of The Gladiators on piano and Aynsley Dunbar on drums. They played ‘Hey Joe’, ‘Need Somebody To Love’ and one third song. Chas asked Noel to return the next day to the Birdland.

↪ Blaises, 121 Queen’s Gate, Kensington, London SW7.
In the evening Jimi jams with the Brian Auger Trinity (Brian Auger/organ, Julie Driscoll/vocals, Vic Briggs/guitar, Rick Brown/bass, Clive Thacker/drums). Johnny Hallyday is in the audience [as well as Andy Summers] and he invites Jimi to do a short tour of France with him. Chas settles the deal with Lee Hallyday - Johnny's uncle/manager and Georgio Gomelski).
