Pete Doherty set to perform at Rosslyn Court B&B in Margate tonight

Libertines frontman Pete Doherty is set to perform at a B&B in Margate tonight - but you'll have to be quick as there's only a limited number of tickets available.

The singer - who moved to Margate with his bandmates to set up the Albion Rooms studio and hotel - is set to perform to 50 guests at Rosslyn Court Bed and Breakfast in Sweyn Rd.

There are only 10 tickets remaining for tonight's event - which is set to start at 8pm.

B&B owner Morag Butler says that people are coming from as far as Glasgow and Birmingham for the show.

She added: "It's going to be an acoustic event, it's the kind of thing we like to do here at Rosslyn Court.

"Spencer Enock is opening the event and after that, Pete is going to be singing for an hour's set.

"We've sold most of the tickets and there's about 10 left. People must call in advance to book.

"We mainly do traditional folk here, Martin Carthy was here two nights ago and he was absolutely marvellous."

Pete Doherty, 40, first achieved fame in the early 2000s with the Libertines and then the indie group Babyshambles.

The singer more recently moved to Margate with bandmates to set up the Albion Rooms studio and hotel on the town's Eastern Esplanade.

Last year, he made headlines after his dogs reportedly attacked and killed a cat in Cliftonville.

He hit the headlines again in August when he succeeded in a challenge to eat a giant breakfast in less than 20 minutes at the Dalby Cafe in Cliftonville.
