The #bgoHendrix launch was one of the coolest blogger events I've been to. Aside from launching a sleek slot game from bgo, it was an exclusive and intimate night of Jimi Hendrix-inspired musical acts in the west side of London.
Having received this secret e-vite from the superb team of JoesBloggers, I just fistpumped and basically said: say no more, see us there! Me and my mate Mario went over to The Gallery in West Hampstead and treated ourselves not just with beer, cocktails, burger sliders, cheesy fries and other fantastic finger foods; we got to witness acoustic performances from three up and coming artists.
In between sets (and a drink or two), bloggers and guests got a chance to play and enjoy the Jimi Hendrix slot game on our smartphones and in the provided ipad stations in the venue. Scattered around were some Jimi Hendrix' memorabilia, especially his famous guitars and some trivia along with them.
Tom Butler
Started from Seattle, Tom Butler's songs remind me of a John Mayer slash The Lumineers vibe and tune. He's performed in numerous grand events, and currently working on his 2nd EP. He will be an act to watch out for. Updates about him will be on: www.tombutlersings.com
