Mick Jones has told The Quietus that he would be interested in producing any new material with The Libertines.
Speaking at a special preview showing of his Rock n Roll Public Library exhibition, he said that although he hadn’t heard from Pete Doherty or Carl Barat, he would be keen to get back in the studio with the pair.
Earlier this year, Barat told The Sun newspaper he was interested in recording "new material" with his former bandmate.
And when Jones, who produced both their debut Up The Bracket and eponymous swansong The Libertines, was asked if he would be interested in working with the band again, he replied: "Oh yes, please, you know? I haven’t heard anything from them, but I hope they do [get back in the studio]. I love them.
"If it’s meant to be it’s meant to be, and if it’s written then it’s written. I hope it happens."
The former Clash guitarist was speaking ahead of the official opening of his Rock n Roll Public Library, a display of music memoribillia he has collected over the years that will be on display at two Acklam Road, Portobello Green until August 25.
He said: "I grew up in a really exciting times with the big five beat bands – The Beatles, The Stones, The Who, The Kinks and The Small Faces – and they made me want to be in a band. They lived how I wanted to live.
"It’s fantastic to see it now. I really want it to be a hang out place where people can interact with the stuff."
