About me

Location	United Kingdom
Introduction	Blues In The South (BITS) was first published in 1987 under the editorship of the Southampton blues musician Bob Pearce. In Bob's hands BITS became a key resource to assist venues and musicians in the Southampton area of England to promote their gigs and to find out what was going on in the area. For 16 years Bob, without any payment whatsoever, and occasionally without any sponsorship, produced without fail, a monthly edition of the flyer. In January 2004, publication of BITS was taken over by Ian McKenzie, a long-time blues enthusiast, Big Bill Broonzy fanatic and occasional blues musician. The immediate plan for BITS "under new management" was to extend the area of its remit all along the south coast of England.
