Dirty Pretty Things return to Cambridge on Friday December 1 when they play a sold out date at the Corn Exchange.

Frontman Carl Barat will, inevitably, be forever known for his love/hate relationship with Pete Doherty.
The merest mention of the duo's former band, The Libertines, being enough to excite a generation of rock fans.
