22nd Sunday Margate Winter Gardens
The Libertines unveiled the ‘First Phase’ of ‘The Albion Rooms’, their vision to convert a five storey ten room Victorian building overlooking the sea in Margate into a den of artistry (and occasional iniquity), with the opening of two bars and a recording studio at the end of last month.
Peter Doherty recently released his acclaimed new album ‘Peter Doherty & The Puta Madres’ and toured the UK and Europe. Carl Barât latterly
returned from a sold-out tour of the far East. The Libertines are
currently working on their fourth album, the followup to the No.3 UK charting album ’Anthems For Doomed Youth’ (2015), which spawned the hits
‘Gunga Din,’ ‘Heart Of The Matter’ and ‘You’re My Waterloo.’
The Libertines released their debut single, ‘What A Waster,’ in 2002. A second single ‘Up The Bracket' was released in September of the same year and hit the UK Top 30 and was followed by their debut album, also entitled ‘Up The Bracket’ (produced by Mick Jones - The Clash). ‘Time For Heroes' was unveiled in January 2003, followed by 'Don’t Look Back Into The Sun’ (produced by Bernard Butler). A second album, ‘The
Libertines,’ was released in August 2004 and entered the UK album chart at Number One, spawning the top 10 singles ‘Can’t Stand Me Now’ and ‘What Became Of The Likely Lads.’
Following the release of ‘Anthems For Doomed Youth’ The Libertines played to over a million fans worldwide, including sold out shows at Hyde Park, three nights at Alexandra Palace, seven UK Arena shows, Brixton Academy, The Roundhouse, The Royal Festival Hall, along with headlining Reading, Leeds, Y Not, Victorious, Truck, T In The Park and On BlackHeath Festivals.
The Libertines are Peter Doherty – vocals/guitar, Carl Barât – vocals/guitar, John Hassall – bass guitar and Gary Powell – drums.
