So who's going to be on the Dixie Queen on Sunday?
Posted by Raymo on 19 July 2011 - 7:42pm.
Just bought tickets for me & my daughter, so we'll be there.
Does anyone know whether there will be any musicians playing other than C.W.Stoneking?
I hope the weather isn't too bad...

Iron Maiden are rumoured as headliners
Acoustic set obviously.
The Duckworth Lewis Method
had a prior engagement. And Rilo Kiley have split up.
Sadly not
8 hours of driving on the Monday so will be fitting roof boxes etc.
Mmmm
Not a lot by the sounds of it....
I know
I'm beginning to wish I'd never asked! C'mon people, I know Stoneking isn't to everyone's taste, but how many chances will you get to travel down the Thames in a paddle steamer? And with the Word staff team. For £35, it seems to me a bargain.
I just think
their appeal is becoming more selective.
Its not
a big paddle steamer town, that's all
Despite the short notice
the ouch price and an inability to understand the voodoo-like hold that Stoneking has on the Word team, I will be there. Unless my outside chance of a freebie to Lord's comes good.
And Neil
bloody Hannon. Presumably the Pet Shop Boys weren't up for it or you can bet they'd have been there too. See also Wootars.
I believe
CW Stoneking is in possession of the oft-rumoured David Hepworth sex tape.
Never niss a Word do
so see you there.
Oh I don't know. "National Express" is a work of
rare genius in my view.
Which raises the question of why...
...the trip doesn't involve Neil and a coach...
See you there!
Hx
That's the spirit!
Look forward to meeting you, Hannah.
And you!
Should be splendid.
I've bought tickets
for myself and my two teenagers, so I look forward to meeting a few of you. Can I make a request for some decent ale on board?
I will be there
because of the opportunity to see CW Stoneking somewhere that is not yer run-of-the-mill venue. Looking forward to it immensely, his music takes me to another place, another time.
Nope, too expensive
and don't like CW Stoneking at all - maybe it would have been better value (and variety) if there was at least one more act peforming.
Anyway, it's a good idea and something a bit different and I hope you all have a great time!
One suggestion though - is there any chance The Word might organise a Word of Mouth gig or Event outside London some day? I mean I can get to London easily so it's OK for me - but what about for those further afield - Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester, Dublin etc?
You are
a Man of the people Retro.
Well, us provincial bumpkins have to
stick together Jimmy!
Outside London
We'd love to do a tour, but the reason we've stuck to London so far is basic economics - if we go further afield costs increase and likely audience sizes go down. But one day...
Yes, but...
if it's a big city and a reasonably big act done in the style of the Word of Mouth gigs i.e with Wilko and Divine Comedy, I'm sure you'd get a decent crowd.
Anyway, with all the excellent advice I received from Alex and the Massive about my "how do I promote a gig?" enquiry...I'd be happy to lend you a hand with promotions - for a small fee of course!
Everybody knows
that the further away from London you go, the more expensive things are. That's why so many people live there. (subs - please check)
About to leave the office for a Brum mini-mingle
me, Steve Turner and Last Rose of Summer off to see Neil Finn's Pajama Club.
A small select clique and we don't care.......bring on the arpeggio's Finnster!
I'm on board with this
Don't leave without me will you, will be dashing straight there after an errand.
Looking forward to it. Never seen CW before but this will be the first of two in the space of a week as he's doing the late night slot at Womad.
Bringing daughter along with me who is now viewing this with some suspicion after she fell asleep when I took her to see the Unthanks on Saturday.
Which leads to a very rare opportunity...
...in the English language for something which might normally be a tautology if, indeed, allowable at all outside of Lewis Carroll: namely, that your daughter found herself in an unthankless position.
An afternoon of Mermaid spotting
I'm all for taking back Sunday afternoon, traditionally a no man's land where Monday morning looms large on the horizon and it becomes increasingly hard to ignore the working week stretching out before you like some interminable desert. Normally I resign myself to it and do the ironing, but not this weekend.
C W Stoneking's music is known to attract mermaids and other mythical creatures of the deep. That's live music, pod-casting and mermaid spotting - on the Sabbath.

Sadly I'm broke.
£35 for a ride on a boat is beyond me this week. You'll just have to muddle on without me folks...
Press Gangle
Can we bash you over the head and smuggle you aboard? A Ganglesprocket (probably pronounced "Gun Whale" or "Ginny") sounds like a vital piece of marine equipment.
Bob: You can float along beside the boat... I'll get my oilskin
