Do we know that Russell is unable to rehearse with them??

I'm just assuming, but with them being in South America and him being busy with his play it seems very likely.

It's not about whether she's any good or not though is it? I mean, lords knows, Russell wasn't necessarily a brilliant violinist was he. It's about feel and texture not technical ability and Russell is irreplaceable, which is why they didn't replace him when he left and they rearranged the songs. Also, I really hope Hawley isn't supporting as I simply can't stand him.

I don't rate him as a solo artist at all, he bores me to tears.

Well I can see how he's an acquired taste. His latest album is a bit more varied than usual though and I reckon would sound great live.

I have less than zero interest in him.

Looks like there's going to be a fair few miserable Bar Italia members next Saturday night then!

Ah lads, come on, don't be like that. If Russell's not there how about we all march over to his house and demand an explanation?

I don't understand why people expect him to do this show, he isn't part of Pulp anymore and we were lucky he showed up at all during the reunion.

Hawley's solo music is one of the reasons why I was disappointed when 6Music wasn't shut down.

 Well, I would just point out that unlike all the other shows he hasn't done he appears on the poster advertising the Sheffield Arena show.

 Wasn't he also on some of the other posters for previous gigs without him, like RAH? Just sounds like lazy advertising.

I thought he was cropped out of other posters for gigs he didn't appear at.

 Correct, the band started doing posters with him cropped out yet he is placed centrally in the, obviously, bespoke poster for Sheffield as it features the 'Day that (almost) never happend' spiel.

Yeah not on. Come on though people, are we going to let the band go out on a tidal wave of hate?!

I do have to concur with Hawley. I adore the Longpigs (first 'wow' band I ever saw) and love his work with Pulp, but solo - and live - there were only about three decent songs. Lovely chap though, with a great line in audience banter, but cripes he was 'worthy.

This thread is hilarious.. you guys carry on being glad that you didn't go or choosing not to go because of the lack of Russell.

I'll get on with enjoying the long awaited homecoming gig of (probably) my favourite ever band, playing some of my favourite songs. Have fun!

Frankly i couldnt care less that russell wasn't there in Paris. Mark is another (but different) misfit. But i guess those guys are Pulp fans since the 80s maybe ? he's had a huge impact on the band then but i'm more of a Jarvis fan myself.

Don't get me wrong, I do love Jarvis - he's a tremendous frontman, but having Russell at the Glastonbury and Brixton gigs really did raise it up a few notches. He was there when I first saw Pulp, but the next few years of watching them without him made me realise something was missing. As I said, I think they became too slick and not 'odd' enough when he wasn't around anymore.

And Blueowl, whilst I'm not *glad* I'm not going, I have gone from being 'quite upset' I'm not going to now 'not minding' the fact I'm not going, which has helped a fair bit!

Think I'll be avoiding this thread for the next week, it's ruining the anticipation
