Streetartwall. In memory of the legendary concerts at "The Upper Cut" club in London, a fantastic mural featuring Jimi Hendrix was sprayed/painted on the outside of a two-story building (12 x10 m). The image is photorealistic and shows him in a purple suit and an orange paisley shirt. He looks at the viewer with a penetrating but calm gaze. His hand is casually resting on his face. Below the mural is a pharmacy. He is practically leaning on it. Next to Jimi is a purple text that refers to the club and looks like an old advertisement. It reads: "The Upper Cut: "Billy Walker presents
The Jimi Hendrix Experience"
as well as advertisements for stars such as Nina Simone, The Who, Small Faces, The Animals
Stevie Wonder and many more.
Info: The Upper Cut Club was a former ice skating rink that owner Billy Walker converted into a "plush big beat palace" for 200,000 pounds. The concert list in the opening week of 1966 was breathtaking. All the stars were represented. Incidentally, Jimi Hendrix's first appearance at the Upper Cut cost just five shillings admission.
