Handel & Hendrix in London

Lucie Skeaping visits Handel & Hendrix in London, which reopens this month after 18 months of renovations - a museum that puts Handel's London home-life into colourful context.

Lucie Skeaping visits Handel & Hendrix in London, which reopens this month after eighteen months of renovations that have created a new museum space that puts Handel's London home-life into gloriously colourful context.

Handel lived in the house in Brook Street for 35 years, where he not only entertained and rehearsed with a myriad of musicians and performers, but also just went about his daily life in what was then a relatively newly-built area of the capital. Lucie is joined by museum curator Simon Daniels, curator Claire Davies and research assistant Olwen Foulkes who will take her on a guided tour of the museum and some of its artefacts that help to shine a light on Handel's personal life as well as his musical achievements. She'll also dip into the world of Jimi Hendrix, who also lived in the house next door for a year in the late 1960s.

Plus, there'll be your weekly edition of Early Music News from Mark Seow.
