  • Description

    Benji Kirkpatrick - founder member of big band folk behemoth 'Bellowhead' and power folk trio 'Faustus' - is a massive fan of Jimi Hendrix. Though immersed in folk tradition and a stalwart of the folk scene, Benji now takes the songs of Jimi Hendrix and re-interprets them; stripping back the layers of guitar, the psychedelia, the era and bringing the songs out in their pure form. For behind the axe wielding antics associated with Hendrix there are great songs and Benji aims to distil these into a completely acoustic setting. Leaving behind the guitar altogether (Hendrix did that rather well...), Benji tackles this material on bouzouki, banjo and mandolin, creating a unique approach and sound for these songs. Always respectful of the originals, whilst continuingly looking for a new angle Benji performs the songs of Hendrix like you've never heard them before.
