The Hamsters play Jimi Hendrix, Holmfirth

(featuring The Hamsters, The Hamsters)

Venue: Holmfirth, Picturedrome

The guitar, bass and drums trio The Hamsters have long been established as one of our premier Blues-Rock attractions, having performed well over 4,000 concerts in 24 years. Although a band in their own right - playing rootsy Rock, Blues and Americana - they've also long widely been regarded as the UK's leading interpreters of the music of Jimi Hendrix. Tonight, on their Jimi Hendrix 40th Anniversary Memorial Tour, they'll be performing a show of his songs to commemorate his passing 40 years ago in September 1970. The band will 'support' themselves by playing a short opening set of their own brand of music, then return for a full Jimi show!

"They're fabulous: one of Britain's very best live bands" - Bob Harris, Radio 2
