JH x51 Polytechnic of Central London 4-16 Little Titchfield Street W1W 7UW

There are many "Holy Grails" among the never recorded events in Jimi's career, but surely the most sought after is the legendary jam with Cream on 1 October 1966 at The Polytechnic, later known as Regent Polytechnic and now part of the University of Westminster.

One of Jimi's earliest jams in London and a fulfilment of Chas's promise to Jimi that he could engineer a meeting with Eric Clapton. It wouldn't be his last meeting with Eric, they would later jam at New York's Gaslight and Scene Club.
