Jack White played his first solo UK show last night [April 23], headlining the HMV Forum the day his debut solo album Blunderbuss’was released.

The former White Stripes man was watched by stars including The Mighty Boosh duo Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt, plus Alabama Shakes, who are set to support him on his May UK tour dates, and BBC Radio One’s Fearne Cotton.

Blunderbuss hit the shelves yesterday and the set was heavy with songs from the record. However, he and his all-female backing band also found space for The White Stripes “My Doorbell”, “Hotel Yorba”, “We’re Going To Be Friends” and “Seven Nation Army”.
