Former Libertines bandmates Carl Barat and Pete Doherty reunited in London last night for an impromptu gig.

Oasis' Noel Gallagher Wants To Write The Next 'James Bond' Theme
Read a free extract from NME's exclusive cover story
Noel Gallagher has told NME that he's got more spare songs than he knows what to do with, and would like some of them to be used as the next James Bond theme.
Oasis speak about their new album 'Dig Out Your Soul', knife crime and what they'd do if they were Mayor of London, in an exclusive cover story in this week's NME.
Now check out an exclusive free extract from the interview on NME.COM, then get your copy on UK newsstands now.
....The songs are coming quickly, with three of Noel's - 'The Shock Of The Lightning', 'Falling Down' and another newie 'Come On, It's Alright' - being written in a matter of days. In fact, he's now got "a backlog of thirty-odd songs, just sitting there".
"I don't know what the fuck I'm going to do with them all," he sighs. "Could I give them to someone else to sing? Well, there's a few that sound like girls could sing them, you know? But who? Fucking Amy Winehouse? She'll be dead before I write another one. That Duffy's alright. I might do them for a film, but I don't want them to be stuck in divvy romantic comedies."
How about a Bond theme? Jack White's just done one.
"It's a bit of a piss-take that the greatest British agent of all time has to be soundtracked by a bunch of fucking Americans. But yep, I've written a couple of Bond theme tunes."
Really? What are they called?
"Er, they haven't got very Bond-esque titles, so I would have to tailor the title accordingly. The latest one that I wrote, I listened back to it thinking, 'fucking hell man! That'd make a fucking great Bond theme'. But it's called 'Freaky Teeth'. Now, unless there's a James Bond film that comes out in the next ten years that's very, very psychedelic..."
Or they could bring Jaws back...
"Yeah! I dunno, I would never write a song called 'A Different Way To Die' or 'Die Another Day', there's always something about death, isn't there?"
Maybe you could do 'Live Forever'.
"I could, but I'd have to re-record it. Getting back to the point, I have no idea what I'll do with these songs."...

Look Out Gordon Brown, Noel Gallagher's After Your Job
Will Noel Gallagher stand as a candidate ever for the post of the British Prime Minister?
Noel Gallagher: That will happen - because the people want it, and I will clean this country, which does not last five years.
First I will solve the problem with the public suburban traffic and will stop then this centralism - London is a genuine heap of shitting.
I would send more policeman on the road, terms of imprisonment would intensify and the death penalty would return.
With deliberate murder there are then no more questions: If you were not condemned two times of a jury and it doubts about your debt give, you land on the chair.

Oasis' Liam Gallagher: 'I Always Let Noel Win Our Brotherly Disputes'
But he praises brother as well...
Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher has said he always allows his brother, Noel, to win when the pair fall out with each other
In a new interview, Liam praised his brother's role in the band, conceding that the “18 hours a day” Noel puts into the group had been key to their success.
But he couldn't refrain from fuelling the brother's notoriously tempestuous relationship.
“He’s the man, you know what I mean? I’m quite happy with that, but then there are times when we’ll have a little argument or disagreement and he always wins. Well, I wouldn’t like to say he wins, but I let him kinda win,” Liam told NME.com.
“I take my foot off the gas and say, ‘Go on then, ’ave it, I’m going on holiday.’ He doesn’t fucking win outright, I just kinda let him win.”
Oasis release their new album 'Dig Out Your Soul' on October 6th.
As previously reported on Gigwise, they are scheduled to play an intimate show in support of the new record in Cornwall at the end of September.

Noel Gallagher: I'll Write A Sitcom
There have been some really classic British sitcoms written by true greats.
Terry & June, The Likely Lads, Only Fools And Horses, Fawlty Towers — the list goes on.
And when Noel Gallagher, the man who penned the theme tune to the brilliant Royle Family, retires from writing lyrics he’s going to turn his attention to rib-tickling sitcoms.
The Oasis axeman plans to team up with best pal Russell Brand to make shows for the small screen.
He said: “I’d like to be part of a team of scriptwriters. I think I’d be good. Russell has been trying to rope me into something but at the moment I can’t commit to anything outside Oasis. But, one day. Who knows?”
Now that’s something that would be well worth watching.
For those of you who can’t wait, on the right I’ve put them in the Royle Family, with Noel as Jim and Russell as Nana.
Bizarre Lord Noel knows his way around a withering put-down and shagger Russell is one of the finest comedy minds of his generation.
The combination of their wit works a treat on Russell’s Radio 2 show.
If they could transfer that to TV they would be laughing: And so would we.
Noel thinks their chemistry comes from their contrary characteristics.
He explained: “Russell’s a big posh Essex boy former junkie who’s been to the dark side and got into Hare Krishna. He’s never seen a council estate.
“I’m a gruff Northerner who drinks Red Stripe. He finds that fascinating. He’s all ‘But Noel darling, don’t you believe in a higher existence?’ and I’m like, ‘Not dressed in a sheet banging a tambourine, you big Jessie’.”
The pair have formed a mutual appreciation society.
It’s not just Noel pontificating on radio Russ, the comedian has revealed he’s basing his next big screen part on his hit-making chum.
Russell is reprising his role as singer Aldous Snow in the sequel to Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
He said: “In Get Him To The Greek, Aldous is now back on drugs. With him being awful rather than clean I can use my friendships with British rock stars more successfully.
“Noel Gallagher will be a much better resource.”
He’s also dedicating a slice of his next novel to the Manc.
He revealed: “It’ll have a bit on Noel, on politics, West Ham and maybe a bit on The Sun.”
But if the two are to work in tandem, Russell had better scrub up.
Noel reckons uncharitably: “When you get close to him you smell a mix of garlic, coffee and alcohol.”
A hygienically-challenged sex addict and a former rock star bickering.
That’s a recipe for a cracking sitcom.

The new album doesn't hit the shelves until 6th October, but Oasis fans across the world are set to get an exclusive preview of 'Dig Out Your Soul', in a groundbreaking partnership between Big Brother Recordings and music magazine NME supported by Arts Council England and Guitar Hero.
The band have teamed up with NME in a musical first, which will see the magazine release the sheet music and lyrics to three brand new album tracks - 'Bag It Up', 'The Turning' and '(Get Off Your) High Horse Lady' in an exclusive companion disc give-away.
Packaged as an official collectable item featuring a unique Big Brother Recordings catalogue number, the Oasis 'NME Dig Out Your Soul Songbook' will be free with NME's September 17th issue and will also include a CD-Rom packed full of exclusive content and artwork.
We are inviting fans from around the world to play the as-yet unheard tracks themselves by filming their efforts and uploading them to a dedicated microsite housed at www.oasisinet.com/digoutyoursoulsongs. Fans who are unable to buy NME can download the sheet music from this website too. This radical move adds a new dimension to the 'free music' debate and encourages all you die hard fans out there to pick up your instruments!
Noel Gallagher of Oasis said, 'The gift of music is very special... and anything that can bring music into a kid's life is an incredible thing.'
You, the fans, are encouraged to interpret the new tracks in your own personal style on whichever instruments you please and Big Brother Recordings have put together a very special prize for the best entry. A lucky winner will be personally chosen by the band and will win a unique VIP experience to the Oasis gig of their choice anywhere in the world, including travel and accommodation. Additionally, the fan that receives the most views will win a trip to see Oasis play live at a venue local to them plus X-Box, 32" Plasma screen TV and copy of the latest Guitar Hero Game 'Guitar Hero World Tour'. Third place will be chosen by NME Editor Conor McNicholas and the fan will be awarded an exclusive, limited edition Dig Out Your Soul Box Set.
Conor McNicholas, NME Editor said: 'We are ecstatic that NME has been able to work with Oasis to give our readers the very first taste of 'Dig Out Your Soul'. The songbook really does mark a world first in including fans in the excitement of a new album release. With Arts Council England on board helping kids pick up instruments, this covermount could inspire and enable a new generation of Gallaghers right across the country.'
The Oasis 'NME Dig Out Your Soul Songbook' is backed by the Arts Council England's Take it away scheme which has given out £6m worth of interest free loans to budding musicians over the last 12 months.
Mary-Alice Stack, who manages Take it Away at Arts Council England, said:
'Take it away is about helping people to get started learning and playing musical instruments of all kinds. We're delighted to be involved with this songbook and competition, because we're sure it will do just that. Along with aspiring Noels and Liams, we hope that the opportunity to perform these songs might well turn up a would-be Vanessa Mae or Seth Lakeman for the next generation.'

Watch Oasis Discussing 'Dig Out Your Soul''s Creation - Exclusive
Oasis leader Noel Gallagher has spoken to NME.COM about the "religious theme" that crops up on the band's forthcoming new album 'Dig Out Your Soul'.
Speaking in an exclusive video interview, the guitarist revealed that a number of the songs on the album have been influenced by The Bible and "religious Armageddon".
"I was listening back to the mixes in America and I was thinking 'everything mentioned is the light'," he explained. "I was like to Gem [Archer, Oasis guitarist], 'there's a bit of a religious theme going on here, definitely Biblical'. The guy doing the [album] cover was like 'it's religious Armageddon', and I was like 'wow, fucking hell'."
The video chat also sees bassist Andy Bell discuss 'The Nature Of Reality', the track he penned on the album.
'Dig Out Your Soul' is set to be released on October 6, preceded by the first single to be taken from the album, 'The Shock Of The Lightning', on September 29.
