Doherty was playing a solo set at the Torriano pub in the capital's Kentish Town when Dufour, who drummed in the original lineup of the band before they signed to Rough Trade in 2001, made his way onto the stage unannounced.
"I went down there with my percussion and box and just pushed through the crowd, got on the stage and we played about 15 songs," Dufour told NME after the gig. "Pete had announced he was going to do one more song, but then when I turned up we did about 45 minutes extra.
"It was quite a surprise - we didn't talk about it before or anything! He was in a good mood, it was really good to see him. He played well. I was surprised at how many songs we remembered after all these years!"
The duo played tracks including unreleased Libertines songs 'The Domestic' and 'Bucket Shop' as well as 'Radio America' and 'Music When The Lights Go Out' – both of which were recorded when Dufour was still in the band.
Doherty recently said that The Libertines are poised to make a full comeback to play the festival circuit in 2010.
