Dirty Pretty Things make UK debut

The band play a secret London show

Dirty Pretty Things made their UK debut last night with a secret gig in London (February 21).

The band premiered their new material with an intimate show in the capital’s Kilburn Luminaire, which was watched by ex-Libertine John Hassall, Razorlight’s Johnny Borrell, manager Alan McGee, Sadie Frost, Lisa Moorish and members of bassist Didz’ former group The Cooper Temple Clause.

Following a support slot from Metro Riots, Dirty Pretty Things took to the stage with singer Carl Barat telling the capacity crowd: “It’s good to be back.”
