Ok since we remembered Peter’s trip to Russia here are some photos from his visit in 2000. In his early days, Pete run poetry nights in the east London venue The Foundry, called “Arcadia at the Foundry”. and he travelled to Moscow with other artists/poets with culture exchange program called “Foundry days in Moscow”
Also funny story about these days from here:
Pete Doherty. Only included here in an attempt to boost stats – At the time ran the open-mike Sunday poetry night at the Foundry ( ” poor Poetry Pete, he’ll never get a girlfriend dressed like that!”) . Pete was arrested on the day of departure from Moscow for being a little too intimate with a girl in the foyer of a hotel – he was swiftly released and back on the bus when it turned out that the girl was a powerful generals daughter.
