Idol Sees Pete At The Macbeth Pub





Idol had a right ‘ole knees-up at The Macbeth pub on Wednesday evening. This rather intimate watering hole in Shoreditch was packed and there were plenty of bodies jostling for a better view of the man himself.

Pete was only an hour late and headlined the Cherry Cola clubnight – a night that his Libertines band-mate Carl Barat has played in the past. There were some random happenings that are typically expected at his gigs with fans throwing odd objects on-stage that included a stuffed pigeon and some odd jewels and trinkets that the singer tends to collect on his travels! In typical rock-star fashion Pete threw a mike-stand (twice) out on to the girl-heavy crowd whilst performing Fuck Forever, which just made everyone scream even louder!!

This small gig was his first public, UK solo since the Libertines played the Reading & Leeds Festivals last year. The singer has recently announced details of a new UK and Ireland tour set for May.
