Pete Doherty and co. break out the hits in the countryside

Babyshambles played an unannounced pub gig in The Sun Inn in Marlborough last night (January 17) to a tiny crowd of about 40 people.

Arriving at the pub at 11:30PM GMT Pete Doherty and his band began their set with a bluesy jam before playing crowd favourites including Wolfman’s ‘For Lovers’, ‘UnBilotitled’ and ‘UnStookietitled’.

After a cigarette break Babyshambles returned to perform a mix-mash of ‘Pretty Sue’, ‘Killamangiro’ and ‘Fuck Forever’ while pub staff began kicking out punters.
