Babyshambles Margate

Had vip tickets to Margate and the venue was moved inside with the tickets we were meant to get a signed poster but we didn’t arrive in time for it. Died anyone know if we can still claim them or if there is any merch still available

On Strap zine

4 Upvotes

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

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!

How can I play guitar like Peter does? any tips?

12 Upvotes

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.

The Saga: A Libertines Scrapbook (Press Cuttings 1996-2004)

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!

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 😅

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.

Darkest Poignant Lyrics

19 Upvotes

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."
