What have The Libertines said about playing On The Beach Brighton?

"There's something about the sea," Pete Doherty told Radio X when asked about playing on Brighton beach for the first time. "There's a calling to it. We're an island nation, aren't we?"

Turning to his Libertines colleague Carl, Pete recalled: "Do you remember the times in Camden, at the end of the night, it'd be two or three in the morning, when we were like 18, 19, and I had my little van? One time we drove down to Brighton."

Barât replied: "There's always that sort of innate attraction to those bodies of water."

Pete added: "The Dohertys of of Cheekpoint in Waterford were a fishing family, traditionally. When I met up with some of grandad's cousins, one thing he said to me was: Pete. The sea will always find you. I'm not sure what it means, really, but it did make me cry."
