Young, good-looking, just-intermediate harmonica player moving to Brighton from the deep south. Any local harp players looking to blow Gordon Brown's debt from their shoulders with a jam session?

Terrific. I'd really like that.
I'll be the man in the blue raincoat, holding a copy of the Evening Standard in his right hand. Passcode will be "Juniper".

Hmmm, intriguing site. I love the "about us" section. Too true...
Coming from a city that has but a handful of open opportunities for live blues on offer, I'm getting giddy.

Now I can use a nice plate of bangers and mash with a Fullers ESB. Loved my visit to London in 2003. Great town, great people.
Dan from PA.

Hi Elwood, I'm in Croydon, South East London. There's not too much Blues going on for a town of nearly half a million people, well, not without driving. It's mostly bars with either ear-shatteringly loud crap or kareoke.There is the Oval Pub near East Croydon Train Station - a 40 minute ride from Brighton. They have a jam twice a month. Google oval pub croydon for more info. Take it easy on the ESB; that's seriously poky stuff!

I've just got into blues harp about a month ago and I'd place myself in the beginner/advanced beginner catagory.
This thread is awsome, I've been looking into some places that do jam sessions
www.heathcotebluesjam.co.uk
looks like a great place and easy to get too (for me at least). Maybe I'll see you play up there next jam session and who knows maybe when I get my confidence and playing up to scratch you may see me there too

Hey Max...I get up there every 2 weeks as I work shifts but you'll love it. I brought a friend of mine who had just started to learn harp and made him get up and just play a few notes and now he's a harp god!!
They are a very friendly and supportive bunch up there and they'll give you all the help you need.
let me know when you fancy going and I'll try to make sure I'm around.
