"Ever been Down to Woking" Pete Doherty

Breakfast in Whitechapel Peter Doherty was a fixture in my Whitechapel flat from early in 2003 and together we worked on his issues as an artist and musician. I met Peter through Peter declared himself a "new type of artist for a new age" and he broke down existing paradigms in pursuit of that rôle. I recognised He had an ability to break down his ego boundaries in collaboration with other artists. He seemed capable of merging his personality with the distinct and diverse musicians whom he encountered, acknowledging and validating their unique, particular identities In 2002 Peter had achieved a meteoric success with the Libertines which had then imploded when charges were pressed against him for burgling the flat of band-mate Carl Bârat. Peter was unhappy with the "conveyor belt" like system employed by their record company Rough Trade and he sought greater creativity and flexibility - the business model for his band under even such enlightened auspices as Rough Trade's Geoff Travis and Jeanette Lee left much to be desired by this "singularity". In the first new months of our acquaintance as Babyshambles was being born, finding its legs, Peter and I worked on the multi-media aspects of his career. From a professional point of view he was at the apex of a young, new artist's career in the music business and yet it was clear to me that the industry was failing rise to the challenge of new technology and rapidly evolving culture. Peter was positioned to grab hold of video and film, and he already had made inroads into the new rapidly evolving online movement with fans forums, There was his poetry, his prose, literature and there was a massive interest from the press. I restricted visitors to only those directly collaborating on creative, multi-media projects and this included fellow musicians. At first I was restricted to a cassette tape recorder and I began to record everything to assist in the work of song-writing - the first lyrics from Peter at my home were "I'll neglect you ... I mean you no harm" which became "At The Flophouse". I wanted Peter to spend time in a more healthy environment outside London and proposed the idea of a "road movie" with the working title "E1 to Albion".The film opened with an aerial shot at dawn of a vintage motorbike and rider travelling Eastwards along the coastNorthwards at the Palace Pier up the London road then veer off up too the top of the Downs at Ditchling from where the camera would execute a reversal of the classic London-Brighton train journey but instead of Victoria station the camera would fly through the arches of Tower Bridge tenth streets of Whitechapel to arrive at 12A Teesdale street. Cue "London Calling" by the Clash. The front wall of Teesdale street would dissolve to reveal footage shot by Nancy Serrouf of the Libertines rehearsing in the Alice through the Looking Glass atmosphere of the Albion Rooms. From here the idea was for Peter and entourage to travel through the countryside of England, visiting its sacred landscapes, encountering random musicians and eccentrics to finally peak at the Pyramid stage in Glastonbury. The fruitful collaborations of song-writing with other artists, video and film making, prose, poetry and publishing, his prison diaries and his art-career, The notorious blood-paintings. Peter used to squirt blood from a syringe onto the walls and ceiling of my flat - he often attempted to draw the shape of a dripping heart in blood on my walls. One day I said to him "Peter, if you must do that, then squirt some blood onto a piece of paper. We will make some art and we'll make some money" 10 years later I was at the 4 star Tiffany's Hotel in Geneva as the guest of Thierry Lombard - head of the wealthiest, most ancient, private, family bank in Switzerland and Thierry's wife, France Lombard-Beche was exhibiting her collection of the blood paintings. Peter continued painting with blood until a Buddhist Abbot in Thailand advised him of potential bad Kharma and so Peter was frightened off to the benefit of future prices. The wildly successful fine art career took off like a rocket with an exhibition alongside Damian Hirst, Banksy and Andy Warhol at the Bankrobber Gallery in Notting Hill. A limited number of subscriptions available soon. From early in 2003 Peter Doherty with friends and collaborators, writers and musicians began visiting and working at my East London flat. Using cassette-tape recording equipment then later Sony mini dv and Apple iMac and iphones I was privileged to collaborate in the production of creative material in many formats by perhaps the most significant musician and artist of my generation - here you will find over 100 original raw, "first time" recordings of Peter Doherty songs as he wrote and developed new songs.
