Sky Arts’ Urban Myths HENDRIX & HANDEL, written by Cara Jennings & Sophie Trott, available to stream!
October 12, 2020 |
Housemates separated by time, Jimi Hendrix and George Frideric Handel grapple with the stresses of the music business in this funny and intimate portrait of two eccentric musical geniuses.
In January 1969, Jimi Hendrix and his girlfriend Kathy Etchingham moved into their first real home in Brook Street in London – the same building that Handel first called home 246 years earlier, in 1743 where he wrote Messiah.
The film imagines the events leading up to a transformative moment when Jimi saw Handel’s ghost, which he reported to Kathy.
HENDRIX & HANDEL is written by Cara Jennings and Sophie Trott and directed by Justin Chadwick.
The episode will air at 9.30 on the 21st on Sky Arts and is now available to stream on Sky.
