"To meet my little girl for the first time was a humbling experience. She's got my eyes and a smile t..." — Pete Doherty

I remember when I was about 15 and still listened to Pet Shop Boys and Chas And Dave, some lad at school lent me a Blur tape, and it had on it a song called 'Bank Holiday.' I said, 'What's this? I liked that tape, but that one song is a bit fast'. He said, 'Yeah, it's punk. It depends what mood you're in.' And then something sort of clicked in me.

At school, I was always the new boy, so I always went in for the school play. It was a way of breaking the ice and making friends with pupils and teachers for however long I had before moving on.

For any music aficionados out there, if you just play E to G, with a cool hairdo, you can't go wrong.

My sound is just vintage Vox AC30s and Marshalls... Matchless amps are cool as well.
