When:
Short story:
The Jimi Hendrix Experience fly from the USA to the UK, and Jimi moves into 23 Brook Street with Kathy Etchingham.
Full article:
Kathy Etchingham : Jimi had all the carpets and curtains taken out and new stuff put in. We had bright red carpets, flame, and turquoise velvet curtains that completely blocked out the light. He insisted on having the thickest pile carpet, made of pure wool. He was a very extravagant person.

Kathy Etchingham : People often saw Jimi on stage looking incredibly intense and serious. And suddenly this smile would come across his face, almost a laugh, for no apparent reason. Well, I remember that very well, sitting on the bed or the floor at home in Brook Street. Sometimes, he would play a riff for hours, until he had it just right. Then this great smile would creep across his face or he'd throw his head back and laugh. Those were the moments he had got it right for himself, not for anyone else.
