Mitchell, Mitch

The Experience's dummer. He was 19 when he entered The Experience, but full of talent.

He had been performing in public since the age of three, and had also been the host of a TV series at the age of 16. Mitch was educated at Acts Educational and The Corona School. He had also been in several bands, such as The Coronets, The Riot Squad and Gerogie Fame's Blue Flames. After several drummer editions, Chas had to choose between Aynsley Dunbar, John Banks and Mitch. It was setteled by flipping a coin.
Mitch quit the Experience July 1, 1969, the day after Noel. The reason was that Jimi had never consultet anyone of them when taking important desicions, especially when announcing a band enlargement the day before Mitch left. Mitch later continued as Jimi's drummer in The band of Gypsies. The Experience reunited in 1970, but was interrupted by Jimi's death.

The Experience's bass player. Noel was born in Folkestone in Hants in Southern England in 1946.
He left school in 1962. In 1965, he formed The Loving Kind, but unhappy with the group's lack of success, he disbandet it the year after.
He was originally a guitar player, and shoved up for an audition as lead guitarist in the New Animals.
The spot was taken, but Noel was told there was this new guitarist, Jimi Hendrix, that needed a bassist. Noel had never played the bass before, but said OK, he'd try.
He played Hey Joe well in the autition, and remembered the chord exactly the next day. This, and his image, was what got him the job. He was tall and skinny, like Jimi, wore big, round glasses and had an exreme hairdo. Also, just like Jimi.
Noel quit The Experience June 30, 1969, for several reasons. One was that he and Mitch had little or no say at all in desictions concerning the band. Another was that he and Jimi often argued.
Among others, about whether Jimi needed glasses or not. When Noel read in the newspaper that Jimi had planned to expand the band, without conculting any of the other members, he quit and flew to England the same day. Mitch quit the next day.
The Experience was reunited in 1970, but was interrupted by Jimi's death.

Sundquist, James Henrik Daniel (Jimi, Jr)
(1969-)
Jimi's Swedish son. He was concieved when Jimi was on a tour in Sweden.
He was born October 6, 1969 in either Allmäna BB or Söders Sjukhuset in Stockholm.
In the beginning, his mother Eva refused to reveal the father's name in order to protect young Jimi and keep Jimi Sr out of trouble. She revealed the paternity after Jimi's death.
In December 1975, Swedish Distric Court established James Henrik as Jimi's son. Thus, he is, according to Swedish law, entitled to Jimi's shole inheritance. But US laws gives Little James nothing. Al Hendrix wrote Eva and said she had no chance of getting any money, perhaps thinking she's a hoax. In april 1976, Al has changed his mind, and grants a monthly support for the Sundquist family.
Young Jimi was bothered as a child because of his father, and because of being black in Sweden. He looks just like Jimi, and is now proud of who his dad is. He also likes the music, though it is not his favourite. He also rescently appeared as a statist on a music video featuring a techno melody with lots of Hendrix sampling; If the 60s Were The 90s.
