Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty played an impromptu show in London last night, hours after his band were banned from a music festival.
Doherty's performance at Jazz After Dark was the latest in a string of appearances the singer has made at the venue in Soho.
He played two hours worth of material which pulled songs from both The Libertines and Babyshambles catalogue and was watched by on-off girlfriend, Matilda Thomas.
Doherty's appearance followed confirmation yesterday that a festival in Wiltshire has been cancelled after Babyshambles were banned form performing at the event.
Police won a case at North Wiltshire Magistrate's on Monday, in which they claimed Doherty's band could incite violence.
They used YouTube footage of a stage invasion which took place during Doherty's recent solo show at the Royal Albert Hall to argue their case.

He also picked up an oil portrait of Amy Winehouse called "natural winner" & one of trendy Peaches Geldof. His girlfriend Matilda asked Sam to do an oil portrait of he
- Yes, Lucy, it really was amazing. Pete really wanted to make this a good gig. One thing that made it even more special was the fantastic improvised playing along by the Fallen Heroes trumpet player Paul Bonner.
