Press

In this new four-part series, comedian Jesse Griffin brings Wilson Dixon, his "outlaw country singer" persona, to London audiences. Griffin may be familiar to listeners as the founding member of the Australian comedy trio The 4 Noels. Here, Dixon performs tracks from his "first album" and from his compilation of love songs, titled I Love You But I Also Want to Hurt You. The appeal lies in Dixie's mix of redneck drawl and his acute observations of everyday life. Listen out for his assessment of the differences between life in Britain and his native Cripple Creek.
