Jimi Hendrix's former girlfriend Kathy Etchingham - full interview

Kathy Etchingham is absolutely lovely! I can see why Jimi Hendrix was so drawn to her. I bet they had the greatest time together. Awesome.

Ive known a few people who knew Jimi way back in the days in London and they all said the same thing about him, that he was a gentleman and very very humble.

I can see why Jimi liked her so much. Very sweet , gentle lady.

She sure is a likable nice lady, glad she is around to share such wonderful and positive stories about Jimi.

What a sweetheart Kathy is. Great Interview!

she's experienced.

I read her book, they had a lot of easy going fun together, watching silly tv shows, going skating, playing board games, laughing about ridiculous situations. They fought when they needed to, they didn’t seem to hide their feelings. It must have been a comfort to have her in his life when it was spinning out of control from fame.

What a likable woman. She brings it all vividly back to life! And I love the domesticity aspect of Jimi's London life with her.

Kathy is a really Lovely woman who took care of Jimi from the day he landed in London for almost two years. A real Sweetheart! Rev. Muddy

Jimi watching Coronation Street. Priceless!

I went there a couple of weeks ago, I highly recommend for any fan.

Great interview Kathy, I have seen a lot of interviews about Jimi, and they all say the same thing, Jimi was very cool, and a real person, not some superstar that had a god complex. He is still one of my all time rock hero’s. RIP Jimi

Jimi was an amazing musician, a Sagittarius, and a clean freak... a man after my own heart :)

So down to earth.....just shows Jimi was like everyone else....apart from his extraordinary talent....

That's what people forget and younger people don't realize is how monochrome and still post-war kind of austerity England was in then despite how all the 'swinging 60s' docs present it. Rock and pop was still relatively new and the new stars and younger generation who were breaking free of all the conservative repression were essentially down to earth humble types. The whole rock star icon thing started in the 1970s but the 1960s figures like Hendrix and Jim Morrison whose stage personas and public image they were trying to emulate were genuine creative individuals who got caught up in and carried away by the changing times they were in before they probably really knew what was happening or just what a cultural force they were creating.

Man, that interview flew by in seconds, should of gone for much longer

Great interview and what a lovely lady . Brilliant.

Wow. I googled Kathy Etchingham and a photo of her and Jimmy came up with the same tapestry that appears in the video in the background. This place is like a museum.

It's been 51 years since he died. That's a long time to be carrying a non-related deceased person in your ❤️. That's loyalty! When Hendrix chose Kathy, he chose well. I hope they are reunited someday...

Went to his flat the other day, it felt so warm and private there, Jimi had a very cool Pad!   :) Mw
