Doherty is reported as saying after the show: "The gig went really well. It was really nice. I got to try out lots of new material."
"These people were real aficionados. They certainly know their stuff. Everything I played went down really well, from old songs all the way through to my new stuff which no one's heard."
"They were a really nice couple as well. They've got three children and it was just nice all round, all for a bit of pocket money."
