Carl Barat will play his first UK solo headline show next month.

 

The former Libertine and Dirty Pretty Things member will play at the Wakefield Escobar on March 7. He is billed as playing the show alongside British musician Keiran Leonard.

 

Barat recently played a slew of support slots in the USA for Glasvegas.

 

i'd well love a Carl solo album aswell

Carl Barat played his debut UK solo headline show in the Wakefield Escobar last night (March 6).

 

Barat, formerly of The Libertines and Dirty Pretty Things, played songs by both bands as part of the set.

 

The frontman had played a secret solo show at Glastonbury last summer and had supported Glasvegas in the USA in January, but last night's show was the first time he had topped the bill on his own anywhere.

 

Songs Barat played as part of his set included 'I Get Along', 'What A Waster', 'Deadwood', 'Bucket Shop' and 'Time For Heroes'.

 

He plays again at the same venue tonight. See Escobarwakefield.co.uk for more information.
