Bit of Doherty news for ya. According to NME Pete will be appearing on Radio 4's 'Bespoken Word' programme to perform a bit of music and poetry. Lovely. Word is Doherty will play an adapted version of Babyshambles track 'Killamangiro' before reading war poet
Siegfried Sassoon's 'Suicide In The Trenches'.
It was musician Salina Saliva (from the band Saltpeter) who actually invited Doherty onto the show. She says: "Whilst making the second 'Bespoken Word' series I was asked who I would most like to interview and introduce. For me it had to be Doherty, the tastiest poet in town. We all know him from before, when it was more about his poetic voice, lyrics, his spirit and work before and beyond the tabloid headlines and here I believe we have captured some of that".
The programme will air on 3 Mar at 11pm. Given his current curfew,
Doherty should be comfortably at home in time to tune in.
