Despite the largely self-inflicted nonsense that's followed him around over the years, Pete Doherty is a really top class songwriter.
And Carl Barat tbf.
Yeah, always been a fan of Libertines and Pete Doherty.
I always remember seeing him in the Zanzibar after Carl kicked him out of the Libertines. He was meant to be on at 9pm but he couldn't stand up without support. He ended up playing about Midnight and was quality.
It was a hell of a second wind from him. Saw the Libertines last November and Pete was always by the side of the stage bigging up the support acts.
