Plaque to the Future
Come and join 6 Music's secret society of wonderful music and daft chat with The Hawk.
This week marks 40 years since the death of rock genius Jimi Hendrix, and on this day in 1997 over 2000 fans watched Pete Townsend unveil an English Heritage Blue plaque at 23 Brook Street, Mayfair, London, to mark where Jimi had lived in 1968 - 1969. Hendrix was the first pop star to be awarded with a blue plaque and this morning you let Hawk know about the rock landmarks near you and who in the future you'd award a plaque to.
Plus, The Mighty Wah was a popular choice for The 5.15 Request, the latest forecast from 麻豆社 Weather Centre was brought to you by weatherman Darren Bett, and another episode of radio's finest musical quiz, The Rockbook Files, revealed who really was first choice to play the lead role of Jimmy in the film of The Who's rock opera Quadrophenia.
