What is the best public transport option to get to the White Horse next Sunday (for the pre-gig with Stated Quo) ?

A nice bonus, may well be there (will be at the Leeds and Liverpool pre-gig shows for sure).

I'm getting the main line train from London Bridge,and getting off at Charlton or Woolwich Dockyard. Don't forget to open the window and let the manly warmth of South East London wash over you.

I echo Vivs comment's, a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon with 2½ hours of classic Quo with a crowd of enthusiastic Quo fans. Well we've heard of the Quo's 'balcony bounce' at the Appolo Glasgow, but this afternoon we had the 'glass shelve above the bar bounce', when during the jig in Roadhouse Blues, we had the comical situation of 4 members of the staff holding the shelves, preventing the glasses from vibrating off.

On behalf of the whole band, many thanks for the kind words. We've had some pretty special afternoon shows over the years and that was right up there.
For me personally, considering how disillusioned I've got with all things Quo recently - particularly this year - it was a great kick up the arse and a reminder of how much I really do love this music.
Plenty of people I spoke to yesterday sounded just as disillusioned with the band as me, but were happily leaping around like lunatics during the gig.
And that's why we complain isn't it? Not because we're miserable moaners or not true fans. But because we actually love the music first and foremost and want to see it treated with some respect.
It was nice to be reminded of that.

It was great to be back in London, it's been a couple of years.
I don't think The White Horse quite knew what to expect. It was er, hectic
As Jimmy has said above, it certainly does rank with some of the very best of the afternoon things we've done over the years.
Here's what we played yesterday...............
Junior's Wailing Roll Over Lay Down In My Chair Spinning Wheel Blues Little Lady / Most Of The Time Something's Going On In My Head Runaway (April), Spring, Summer & Wednesdays Blue Eyed Lady 4500 Times Never Too Late Railroad Umleitung Don't Waste My Time Roadhouse Blues Over The Edge Claudie Big Fat Mama
Certainly a pretty 'hardcore' set, & as usual we just wanted to give people a chance to hear songs they don't get to hear anywhere else. With a crowd like that, there was no need whatsoever to play any of the usual 'hits', only 2 of them there, although I'd never describe Roll Over Lay Down & In My Chair as being in the 'nice singalong' big hits category. Quite staggering to think of all the stuff we didn't have time to play, but we'll get some of those in at Leeds & Liverpool, as we like swapping things around from gig to gig.
Fantastic to have the legend Jackie Lynton there, & he got up & sang with us, Chuck Berry's 'Let It Rock' & 'Johnny B Goode', his special slow & bluesy version of Quo's 'Don't Waste My Time', & also a few verses of 'The Hedgehog Song' He sold quite a few copies of his new book, which surprisingly but pleasingly, features a picture of Stated Quo in it
Thankyou to everyone who was there, you made it a hectic, frantic & hard rocking few hours
Mikey

[ How can you claim to be a Quo tribute act if have the audacity and creativity to change the set list at a whim! 😉
