White Stripes hero to play intimate New Year’s Eve gig

White Stripes influence Billy Childish is to play an intimate New Year’s Eve show at the Spitz in London. Despite falling out with the White Stripes earlier this year over claims the band made that Childish had plagiarised their songs, Childish is still sited as one of the White Stripes inspirations.
