No Rock And Roll Fun

UNSURPRISING THINGS IN ROCK: Anyone surprised that Pete Doherty didn't turn up for one of his solo gigs last night? Apparently, his non-appearance was blamed on his guitar tech not being allowed into the Barfly. He did manage to pull it together for a "secret" show in his own flat later in the evening, although the extent to which that will help the poor saps who'd paid for tickets for the earlier event isn't clear.
