A LIMITED number of tickets are still available for Peter Doherty’s intimate ‘Battered Songbook’ solo acoustic gig at Cork’s Cyprus Avenue on Saturday, April 15.
erhaps better known for his off-stage antics, Doherty was part of the Britpop movement that dominated the charts around during the early noughties.
While Doherty and Carl Barât formed The libertines in the late 1990s, I wasn’t until 2002 that they achieved mainstream success following the release of their debut album ‘Up the Bracket’.
Although the band released a second album, Doherty’s much publicised drug addition issues caused internal friction with the band breaking-up in 2004.
The band later reformed and released a third album ‘Anthem for the Doomed’ in 2015, subsequently touring the UK and Europe.
Towards the end of his initial stint with The Libertines Doherty formed Babyshambles, with the band releasing three albums between 2004 and 2013.
He has collaborated with various bands over the years and continued with The Libertines tradition of performing short notice ‘guerrilla gigs’, on his own of with band-mates.
Doherty has released two solo albums, ‘Grade/Wastelands’ (2009) and ‘Hamburg Demonstrations’ (2017), one as Peter Doherty & The Puta Madres (2019).
His intimate ‘Songbook’ show will see Doherty perform a selection of nuggets from his back catalogue, including classics from The Libertines, Babyshambles and his solo material.
