I would travel half way across the world to be there if Jarvis and Steve would play Death Comes to Town. Even though I'd die from happiness!

Well, that can be the reason, why he makes his radio show on Sunday in the wintergarden of Sheffield.

It's also to do with the snooker. They do a lot of the match analysis in the Winter Gardens and there is a whole lot of extra programming on the BBC this year from Sheffield on all sorts of radio and TV channels branded as "Cue Sheffield" and Jarvis' programme with Steve Davis (6 times world snooker champion in the 1980s) is part of that. There's a German Masters tournament, but it's in Berlin now, so not too convenient for you probably.

I really would like to know in which german show Steve Davis was in the 80's...

because I really, really wish that we would have something here like the Jonathan Ross show.

You are right Fran, Berlin is a little too far from here (round about 600 km) and if I would go, Snooker wouldn't be the reason for a visitdisbelief

The gang back together (temporarily I imagine)

Hey, was that today? Very nice picture! Does anyone here have pictures from the Jarvis Cocker Sunday Service in the wintergarden yesterday (3.5.2015)?

Is that Russell on the right? Doesn't look much like him but could be an odd photo. Not sure about this "Pulp first performed here" revisionism / conveniently ambiguous wording - it was their third gig!

Doesn't it mean (or at least it could be interpreted as) they played the Leadmill for the first time on that date?

Also, I did wonder if it was Russell too, but surely not? Someone from PRS or the Leadmill maybe? If it is him, or he is there somewhere, I hope someone's on hand to ask him about his book.

They're on Look North here at 3:14 - available until 10:35pm tonight.

I've heard Jarvis describe this before as their first public gig, as though he didn't count playing in his own school as public, but that still doesn't explain it properly. Maybe it was the first place that seemed to him like a proper music venue, or had an audience that wasn't just their mates??? Or it's just his memory! He's cited it as their first gig at times when there was no need to fit into a Leadmill-oriented narrative.

Does this answer the question then about being the first gig in Jarvis' mind?:

"It was the first time wed been on a proper stage."

"If you played at the Leadmill, that was a big, posh, proper concert."

Not Russell. It's a guy from PRS called Simon Darlow.
