Pete im Doppelpack - my weekend

Last weekend was supposed to be a quiet weekend in for me but after Alex's friends couldn't make it to go to Fabric with him, I was already getting ready to go with him when we heard Pete would be playing at the 126 that night. 126 is a small flat in the East End with lots of slot machines and a little bar. When we arrived, we were told that Pete has just left his house and is on his way. So we grabbed a drink and sat down. The music in this place was weird, old school drum and base. Bungle and me were discussing that this whole situation seems like a weird blurred dream, it was just such an unlikely place for Pete to play haha.
But of course he came. We were only like 30 people there and most of us were sitting on the pool table while he was playing. He had some troubles with his microphone as he hung it up on a lamp and the lamp wouldn't stop spinning when he was singing which ended up in him chasing after the microphone :D It was quite funny to watch, poor Pete.
He was in a great mood and played loads of requests from us, the setlist included

After he finished playing the first set most of the people went home. But the rest of us had loads of fun with Pete playing drum and base songs and having a laugh. It just seemed to go on forever until he sat down to play more songs. It was very sweet to watch him playing guitar with two boys and singing The Smiths songs together.
I think we must have been there till about 6 o'clock until the owners kicked us out. It was a great night and this made us wanna go to the Woodberry Tavern on Sunday even more.
There were a lot of Writtlers there and it was very nice to meet them.
We arrived quite early again after thinking Babyshambles would be the last band on at 11pm but the place was empty still.
After Cal Roberts couldn'tmake it, he was replaced with an awful female artist whose name I have forgotten. We were happy when she stopped singing.
Pete arrived early and was at the bar before Babyshambles played.
The next band on was the Younghearts. They were really good and we already saw them on friday but a huge group of the people rather followed Peter through the place and outside than enjoying the music. Poor Pete!
Next were Babyshambles. It was sooo good to see them play together again after haven't seeing them since March, every time I see them I love this band more :)
They played a great set and everyone seemed to have a good time.
After that, a band I have never seen before, called the Skuzzies came on stage. I really enjoyed to see them playing.
Then Alan Wass Band was on and it got wild. We were all dancing and even Pete joined it and was jumping and smiling. It was really good to see him so happy.
After the General finished with set Pete came on stage again with Joe Fox from the Younghearts and the drummer from the Skuzzies and they were playing loads of Libertines songs, Don't look back in anger, She loves you and many more. The whole place was going mad, so that the owner and another man had to stand in front of the people to stop them. The General jumped on stage too and let the crowd sing along to songs with holding the microphone for them.We enjoyed ourselves so much, thank you Peter!
