Curtains Drawn On Pete Doherty’s Lounge Music
PETE Doherty has given up the works for work.
We journey to Pete Doherty’s front room, a residence in Burbage near Marlborough, Wiltshire, where the children’s entertainer is performing for a young American entrepreneur.
The American, one Greg Thomas, has paid Doherty £15,000 for the privilege.
Says one Paul Roundhill: “This guy loves Pete. It’s going to be really great. I just hope Pete is straight enough to perform. I think someone might have given him some drugs as he’s out of it at the moment. But I’m going to wake him up when they get here.”
As the Mail reports, when the show began Thomas got the full Doherty Experience.
Readers learn that Doherty was hardly able to stand. Undeterred Thomas waited seven hours for his hero to right himself for the hour-long show.
Says an insider: “They certainly got value for money. They had a real insight into who Pete really is.”
Says Peter Doherty: “Great to meet you.”
The crowd may have whooped, as is the tendency with Americans, and screamed “Yoo da man!”
Doherty gathers himself: “The gig went really well. It was really nice. I got to try out lots of new material. These people were real aficionados. They certainly know their stuff. Everything I played went down really well, from old songs all the way through to my new stuff which no one’s heard.”
And in words that could be uttered by any number of solo male British pop acts thanking their fans post-gig – from Gareth Gates, to Rick Astley and Darius Danesh:
“They were a really nice couple as well. They’ve got three children and it was just nice all round, all for a bit of pocket money.”
Pete Doherty will be performing again soon. Dress casual. Show starts whenever any of you can get there.
Curtains draw at 9pm sharp…
