I don't know anything about Madame Tussaud's I'm afraid, but I did find this bizzare article from ages ago!

I knew nothing of this waxwork until just now... so thank you!

I haev emailed Maddam Tussauds to ask if it's still there, and if it's still kept behind glass to protect it from Michael Jackson fans :)

 Did you not see the Jools Holland clip where Jarv mentions the fact that to check the colour of his eyes they sent him the head in a box? He said "they weren't bloodshot enough"

 

Its the one where he's plastered, it's on youtube.

 Thanks.

Wondering if Rock Circus is part of Madame Tussauds. And according to wikipedia  Rock Circus is not there any more.

In fact I remember reading that article before and it's an important reason why I doubt if they'd still keep him there.cry And that thing kind of made me sad.

Feeling sorry now because when I visited Madame Tussauds I had never heard of him or I would at least have tried searching everywhere.

I tried googling  "Jarvis wax" or "Jarvis Madame Tussauds" but could only find no more than two pictures.

A pulp newsletter in 1996 that I found on Pulpwiki said "Jarvis had his first 3 hour sitting at Madame Tussauds on Friday 13th September for his Rock Circus double... a lucky start for the soon to be molten man." but I don't know if that's a joke I failed to get being a non-native speaker.

God, how pathetic are Michael Jackson fans? That article was written 4 years after the incident and they still want to sabotage a wax sculpture of Jarvis. As if that will accomplish anything

Hey guys, I know we're kind of drifting off into different subcategories in this thread but I didn't want to annoy anyone by making a ton of different threads being a relatively new member and everything. BUT! I was just wondering... is anyone going to go see Jarvis' talk at the lit festival on the 24th? If so, can you report back to us if he lets slip anything about Pulp plans or solo plans or book readings/signings? If you're feeling really confident you could even ask him if he has any plans to do something for us fans up North that can't travel down ^_^

How great would it be if he did like a mini-book-reading tour thingy? Ahhh.

Also don't forget to post any pictures or videos you get of/with him! :D can't wait to see footage!

 Sorry. I was simply too eager to know, but never intended to spoil your thread, really.

If it bothers you, I'll stop talking about my question here. Maybe I'll try ask elsewhere, but not here anymore, I promise. 

By the way, I'm dying to see some reports of his show too. :)

Oh noooo this wasn't a dig at you at all! This was me getting worried people will find me annoying cuz I keep posting all different things inside one thread. biggrin 

I wish Jarvis' waxwork was still around too. I'd also love one of the cardboard cutouts from Different Class! If only...

I'd repeat - very nice guy to meet. When he turned up at the Royal Albert Hall gig he made a point of chatting to us fans (all four of us!) who were there. He seemed to size up quite how many of us there were because at first it was as if he intended to walk past us, but realising we were so few, decided to be polite. He was nervous, but very sweet.

Then I inadvertently did some slightly gay flirting at him. Because I am a fool.

HAHA! Does Jarvis do any other shows (music, reading, speaking) other than London based ones? I'm surprised he doesn't do more up North.

 I imagine quite a few of things he does are not necessarily initiated himself, such as the book sessions which would have been arranged by Faber's publicity people, though no doubt he would have discussed that with them too. They will also want to match their publicity to relevant events and locations that are going to be productive for them, so when they organised bookshop signings, there was one in Sheffield and one in London as I remember and a couple of literary locations thrown in. This London thing tomorrow night is part of some bigger festival isn't it. so the organissers must have looked around for some interesting slebs who would complement their event and you see him at a few things like that from time to time. He was on Radio 5's Octoberfest thing in Sheffield last year, presumably a pretty go-to choice when you're on the lookout to book a Sheffield sleb. The Big Melt (http://sheffdocfest.com/films/show/5537) next month is obviously more his own thing, like last year's dance events featuring Relaxed Muscle, but even then, there quite often seems to be a strong collaborative element in some project that has caught his imagination and he is not the only one determining where or how it happens.

 I took a few tour groups to Madame Tussaud's in 2009 part of my job. No Jarvis there then, and doubt they'll have put him back.

 Thanks. So I won't have much to regret because I visited in 2010 when he wouldn't be found anyway. What I remember was that it was crowded and there were many storeys, and they simply took us to where the Twilight guy was. I was too tired to go around then. Since there is no Jarvis, I'm not planning a second visit anymore.

That interview is quite lovely, but the head story sounds totally horrible to me!

 Brett Anderson and blueberries. How metropolitan.

 It's an internationally acclaimed documentary film festival held here in Sheffield every year and I'm hoping to go if I can scrape enough money together and it isn't sold out.

If he is it's a massive bonus but for me it's only a bus ride away and one of my hobbies is local history so it won't be a wasted journey.

Something I read gave me the impression he was going to be there, but I wasnt concentrating too hard at the time. The previous link said something about a live experience, this version of the listing says "with soundtrack performed live" - of course there isn't any clue as to what kind of soundtrack it is or who is performing it live.
