This 11th of May, will see the 5th anniversary of Noel Redding’s passing.
As the original Bass player with The Jimi Hendrix Experience Noel’s contribution to rock n roll’ will echo throughout musical history.
Outside the Rock n roll world Noel’s impact on his adopted home of West Cork was as monumental as it was on the international stage. To this day his musical legacy remains in Clonakilty through the festivals he helped to inspire and the abundance of musical talent that he fostered and attracted to the locality.
And so over the course of the weekend of the 9th -11th of May the town of Clonakilty will celebrate the life and career of Noel Redding as he would have wanted himself, through music, from the rock n’ roll of the 50s and 60s that influenced him to the sounds with which he helped influence the entire world, changing the face of popular culture and music forever as one third of the Jimi Hendrix Experience.

“Noel would pass you on the street on a spring morning, with the stride of a man on a mission, the continuing walk of his
troubadour life. Yet had you not known him, you would never realise you had passed a man that rocked Monterey, Electrified
Ladyland and soared to the dizzy heights of 60’s psychedelia.
However it was Noel’s sky blue suede shoes that would give it all away. “Hello Matey”, he’d say as he went about Clonakilty on
his daily errand’s, capped with a “ swift half “ !”
