Blues in the south
If you're ever venturing along the Hampshire, Dorset or South Devon coast, you might want to take in some of the excellent live blues and roots music that's to be found in these parts. And a good way to check out who's playing where and when, is to visit: www.bluesinthesouth.com It's run by Ian McKenzie, himself a bluesman of repute, so the site is always full of goodies to delight blues fans.
