Jack White to perform free gig at London pub today

White is celebrating the release of his third solo album Boarding House Reach

Jack White has announced a free London show which will take place today (28 March) at 5pm.

The rock musician is celebrating the release of his third solo album Boarding House Reach with the gig at the historic George Inn, near London Bridge.

Entry to the show is free - doors open from 3.30pm and the gig will be a first-come, first-served basis.

White will be joined by his new touring band: Carla Azar on drums, QUincy McCrary and Neal Evans on keys, and Dominic Davis on bass.

The George Inn gig precedes another intimate show held today at London's 600 capacity venue The Garage. Tickets to this evening's event sold out within minutes of going on sale, following similar shows in Los Angeles and New York which took place last week.

White will return to the UK as part of his European tour in June and July, including a run of three consecutive nights at the Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith.
