I'll be there tonight and next week too probably. Try and get there before 9 as it is a small venue and gets full pretty quickly, then it's one in/one out, so you will have to queue for a long time.
Also you should check this one out on Wednesday – http://www.alleycatbar.co.uk/2011/01/sam-hare’s-blues-jam/
Hi Hakan, I hope to be at the Coach and Horses on wednesday night, but will not know for definite until tomorrow night. It would be great to meet you. One of the other forum members, Leo, is a regular there too. I bet you will like this jam best of all three!! ---------- Oisin

It's 1.00 AM here in London and I just arrived to my hotel after a bluesjam at Aint Nothing But Blues Bar.
I love London!
It was a great jam with a very nice house band and superb beer, I really liked their pale ale. I had the opportunity to play 4 songs as a sideman. I asked the jam coordinator if I could take the lead one last song. It was London boogie with a C harp! I think it was pretty well received.
Baker, nice to meet you there. Very good jammin' from you!
I didn't go to Spice Of Life last night. Luis, a guitar player I met at the Monday's jam took me to another place called Round Midnight. It was a nice place with good players. The beer was OK. It wasn't too crowded. I must admit that I prefer when it is packed with people like it was at the Blues Bar last Monday. I played as a sideman for two songs and I asked if I could take the lead on one song later and the jam leader said Maybe. But it didn't turn out that way. It was OK anyway because I met a great Harp Forum player, Leonid. We had harp discussions all evening and we jammed together outside the pub and that was really fun!
I have two alternatives for the Wednesday jam, Alley Bar or Coach & Horses. Alle Bar will probably be full of people since it is downtown. But I know C&H is a very good jam. So it's hard to decide. I think I will go to Alle Bar since I haven't been there before.
The jam at Alley bar was pretty good. There was a very, very good harp player in the house band, Lee Sankey and we had a brief conversation. He seems to be a really nice chap.
