Former Oasis drummer Zak Starkey has launched his own band, Penguins.

Ringo Starr's son, who has also toured with The Who, played an intimate gig at Saint Moritz, London last week.

The band features Starkey's girlfriend Sharna Liguz on vocals, while his daughter Tatia performed bass.

Penguins' set included original material and a cover of The Sensational Alex Harvey Band's 'Swamp Snake'.

Speaking after the gig, Starkey told NME: "The first night of many more good times to come, here's hoping.

"Penguins is about having a good time, and that's what we're doing."
