Fleming Arms

[No 2 to Maybush]

Just reading the thread on the proposed new Eastleigh Stadium and noticed a reference to the Fleming Arms. My mum used to work there in the days when a few of the Saints team used to drink there on a regular basis. Anyone got any interesting anecdotes from those days?

Legend has it Bob Marley played his one and only Southampton gig there.

Son?

Haha! I doubt it. My mum was good friends with the owners at the time. It was the Razor Ruddock era.

I think they have a picture of Marley on the wall at the Fleming Arms, but I believe he actually played in the now demolished pub, just up the road in Wessex Lane, on bend opposite the railway station. I think it was called the Masons Arms.

Looks like the Coach house was part of the Fleming Arms and so the Jimi Hendrix gig rumour is true! See this planning application from 1971 to build a 'club bar and dance area'

Hah that old nutter Poulton is still going then I see, they should ask him about Kim, probably a better story than Bob Marley actually. I was a pretty regular patron at the Coach House, my ex's cousin's band played there a bit.
