Pete Doherty plays fans' houses again

Pete Doherty has played a fan's birthday party for £100 at her father's request, according to The Sun, and has since been asked to play more.

Pete Doherty has been playing round his fan's houses for a hundred quid again, though I'm not sure if this was because he's broke or if because he was just being a nice bloke.

Doherty was reportedly asked to play a fan's birthday party by the fan's father, who offered a hundred quid for the performance. Pete accepted, needless to say making the birthday girl's day.

The Sun quote a source thus: "The birthday girl's dad told him she was a huge fan and that he'd give him £100 to perform at her party. Pete was flattered and happy to oblige. He turned up and played his big hits. Everyone had a great time. Some partygoers asked him when he was going to start making dogs out of balloons. He took it in good humour. It made her day and now she's a very popular girl with her pals. Her dad told the local paper and Pete has been bombarded with requests to play since".

Back in the day Pete used to sell his party appearance services at a nominal rate in order to gain some quick drug money, but this one may well have been done for the more natural high of seeing a fan having a very very happy birthday.
