Carl Barat confirms first UK solo show

Carl Barat has confirmed details of his first UK solo show since quitting Dirty Pretty Things.

The former Libertines singer will play Wakefield's Escobar on March 7. He will be joined on the bill by Keiran Leonard.

Barat recently played solo slots with Glasvegas on a US jaunt.

Dirty Pretty Things split in October last year following the disappointing chart performance of their second album Romance At Short Notice.

Pete Doherty revealed earlier this week that Barat had snubbed a £2 million offer to reform the Libertines for a UK festival headline slot.
