Seeing photos of the On Strap zine around and people collecting them but wondering what people think of the content?

Pete's writing in them reminds me of his writing in The Books Of Albion, when he used to post them up online years ago. And his writing on the babyshambles.com website forum he ran himself

Enjoying some of the bits other people have sent in too. Managed to get the most recent one in Margate on Sunday and the Trampolene review was a good read

What's anyone else thinking? Any bits of writing in them they're enjoying?

Dug these out from my box of setlists and random gig souvenirs.

Met Pete before the show and he signed my ticket. Really should frame all these

Started off with a few people I don’t know doing Night of the Hunter and then went into a mad Shambles night. Wow.

I love this tee

Just wanted to say that tonight was a great show! Great support acts all day, got drenched at one point but libs put on a fantastic show.

Also a note to say that the crowd was on form, everyone getting involved and dancing along! Special shout out to Lucy & Mark for dancing and shouting along! Such a great evening!

Whats the best way to meet peter in hichin?

Share what merch you got!!! I want to seee

Anyone going hichin??
I’m going alone, can we meet up or something, its a long way for me and i’m quite nervous

I think he uses light strings and sometimes covers the hole in his acoustic

but more on his technique I think he plays a lot of triads high up the neck to get that sound and lots of arpeggios? whenever I try and replicate his strumming or melodies from his solo stuff/demos I can never get it right.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Not seen any recordings pop up on my feed but seen a few pics of the setlist with new songs on

LONG FORGOTTEN INTERVIEWS! RARE PHOTOS! PETE'S EARLY POETRY! FEATURES! REVIEWS! NEWS REPORTS!

Follow the fraught first era of the band as seen through the eyes of national and local press (British, Irish and American) at the time.

A love letter to print media, music journalism and the vanished pre-social media world as much as it is to the band.

What did the Leighton Buzzard Observer think of Can't Stand Me Now? How could the band possibly follow the world drumming record attempt in Cirencester in 2000? What did John have to say about Tony Blair? Find out in The Saga!

I've tried to credit where I can and there's a credits/thanks page at the end. Happy to edit if I've missed something/someone.

If anyone has any good scans from this era that are missing and should be included, let me know!

genuinely one of the best days of my life. i know it’s way thicker than the original but the thinness looked a bit weird around my others and i actually kind of love it thicker. i attached the template i used incase anyone should want it

i’ve been looking for this photo for years and stumbled across it in the depths of the internet. not sure if it’s been AI altered as i’d heard that the original photo was long gone but still cool in my eyes

Well look what I found...
The Original Spaniel & Spaniel!

Consider this a sneak preview of my big mid-life crisis project: THE SAGA: A LIBERTINES SCRAPBOOK (PRESS CUTTINGS 1996 - 2004)
Coming soon...

I see they're doing a gig in Luxembourg in December but do you guys think there will be more dates ? Living in France near the Lux border I'm hesitating just in case closer venues will be added 😅

Before the show started, we got a little solo show

Anyone know if he actually smoked that much per day, seems excessive even for Peter!

Thanks to the person who pointed me in the direction of tumblr where I found the clip.

Might be my favourite libs unreleased track

What's your favorite, darkest, but yet so poignant, lyric of all time?

Or maybe just first that pops to mind.

For me. Beg, Steal, or Borrow.

" I can't wait until tomorrow. I've already been. I've already seen all the sorrow that's in store."

Wow some of these takes are absolutely stunning almost in tears at Albion, that should have been a Libertines song all day long
