The breathless Gothic video for The Day The Baron Died (part Portrait Of A Lady On Fire, part Poldark romance) was filmed at Peter’s home and on a cliffside in Etretat (Normandy). It was directed by Thad & Numa and features Peter Doherty (The Baron) and Katia deVidas Doherty(The Lady).

Peter says of The Day the Baron Died: “I always thought it was a weird jazz number, with a silly, catchy little melody. It’s a kind of homage to [John Lennon’s] ‘Instant Karma’, not the lyrics but the weird off time drum fill in the chorus. And I’m not gonna explain what the song’s about because I’m working on a follow up!”

As previously announced Peter Doherty will be playing live festival and headline dates, along with In-Store appearances in the coming months. Joining Peter’s band as extra special guest on drums, on the shows marked * will be Mike Joyce (The Smiths). The full list of shows is:
