Jimi Hendrix memorabilia up for auction

Personal possessions belonging to music legend JIMI HENDRIX which were found in a storage trunk are going under the hammer on Thursday (07May15).
Clothes and guitars owned by Hendrix were discovered in a box that had been locked in a storage facility in East Sussex, England since 2008 following the death of Mitch Mitchell, drummer with the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
Mitchell’s widow placed the trunk, labelled J H Exp Handle With Care, in the storage unit but the contents were sold off for a bargain price when she failed to pay rental fees.
The new owner is now selling the treasure trove, which also includes Mitchell’s drums and clothes, plus a typed letter from former Beatles star Sir Paul McCartney, which was framed next to a copy of his solo record Flaming Pie.
The items are expected to reach a collective total of $9,600 (£6,000) when they are sold at Eastbourne Auctions in England on Thursday.
