The Libertines on “Pete Doherty Freedom Gig“ at the Tap’n’Tin, Chatham, Kent, 8th October 2003

“From the outset the pair of them clicked back into what they’d always been, though, swapping vocals, sharing the microphone as Gary and John kept everything grounded and driving. There seemed to be an intensity as they sang and held eye contact. […] The effect was extraordinary. Dozens of people couldn’t hold it any longer and started sobbing with joy. everything had been put behing them. This was the best they’d ever been; there was no going back now.”

I bump into Carl quite a lot and he’s a good lad. Every time I mention collaborating Pete’s always keen – he still calls him Biggles. We wanted to get Carl on Shotters Nation as well, but he was too busy.
