Pete Doherty makes amends with free gig

Pete Doherty announced on Friday he was making up for his no-show at the Barfly last Monday by staging an impromptu gig at the Great Eastern Hotel on Saturday night just gone. In a post on the Libertines website Ticketweb ticket agency wrote: "For those of you that bought tickets for the cancelled Barfly gig Pete Doherty on the 2 Aug, the promoter has asked us to invite you to another Pete Doherty gig for free. To gain entry to this gig you will need proof of the original ticket purchase. This should be your original email confirmation or the email you were sent about the cancelled show."
