Pete's old chum Wolfman kicked things off but unfortunately he was a bit worse for wear. Sitting on a stool with his guitar he began by stumbling randomly though a song called Withdrawn and Shaken.

Geed on by the crowd who howled him along after rambling incoherently for a few minutes, he played another couple of songs, stopping and starting when he'd either forgotten the words or dropped his plectrum.

Pete and Dot Allison

He finished with a shambolic version of his recent duet with Pete, For Lovers.

Just before 11pm Pete and Dot Allison made their way onto the stage. A sea of hands reached out to grab Pete as the duo kicked off with an acoustic cover of Massive Attack's Teardrop which morphed into The Stooges', I Wanna Be Your Dog.

Pete reached behind him and grabbed an old tape recorder from the back of the stage, rewound it and played a few seconds of the song back to the crowd.

Giving it the thumbs up he cheekily asked the soundman "They sound great but can you turn the treble up on Peter's guitar please?"

As Pete played the opening chords of Don't Look Back Into The Sun the crowd cheered and began to singalong virtually drowning Pete out. Dot's delicate, breathy vocals were replaced by her accompanying Pete on the xylophone - it might sound strange but it worked really well.

Throughout the set Pete regularly stopped to shake hands with the eager crowd who shouted an endless list of requests at him which he joked he needed a blackboard for.

Pete's guitar playing was impressive - playing Flamenco/Latino style songs while he sang along in Spanish through to dreamy ballards with Dot.

Libertine's songs were not forgotten with an Elvis tinged Mocking Bird, What Katie Did, Libs anthem What A Waster and Can't Stand Me Now all mixed in too.

Fans shouting requests at Pete.

For the Good Old Days Pete asked us to grab a partner and waltz; "It doesn't matter if it's a boy and a boy, this is a liberated time and they'll be prizes for the best couple!"

At 12.30 am, Pete brought the evening to an end, finishing with a chaotic version of The Trail of the Lonesome Pine accompanied by Dot on the xylophone and a stage invasion.

I wasn't sure if Pete would even turn up for the gig let alone impress us with his guitar playing, amusing banter and amazing head-held catalogue of random songs which made me think of him as a human version of an IPod.
