I'm going to be in the UK alone visiting some family.
First lot is in Southampton and then i have from the 28th July to the 1st August to get myself to Plymouth.So i have plenty of time to go off track to visit some Jams/or just good Blues venues on the way.'course the perfect one would be a venue with accommodation,bar,blues and bed, BBB.;-)(Unlikely i know)
Anyone know of any venues worth checking out on that
roadtrip,Hants,Dorset,Devon?
TIA

6th July Andy Broad's Sunday Blues Jam at The Auckland Arms Pub in Sunny Southsea, Portsmouth Hants. Google up Andy Broad - broad.ology.org for details. I often get there myself but shift work prevents this for the next few months (bummer). Normally on first Sunday of the month. Enjoy your stay.

Seems there isn't a lot of Blues in the South of England.
Gotta luv the irony though,I live in Auckland Newzealand and my best bet is a Pub called the Auckland Arms .12000 miles away!

That is ironic! It's a good jam though and a nice little pub
