We have discussed it somewhere, I'll have a look and bump it up.

Jarvis (obv)

Candida, Nick, Steve and Hawley played. Afterwards Jarv mentioned in an interview (NME in think) that that would be the closest we would come to see Pulp live for a while.

Any reviews/comments from anyone here? I'm trawled through threads and may have missed some, but the Independent review mentions 'other members of Pulp' etc. so just wondering who was there, what form it took etc?

Thanks for that! And the bumping! Haven't had time to get on here for a few days, and suddenly there's a Pulp reunion! I wonder how Mark feels about that...

I mentioned on the other thread, but I think he recently became a dad (might be wrong). If so, I imagine he's busy.

Just thinking about new Pulp material and I remembered that The Big Melt apparently contained unreleased Pulp music. I haven't seen it since an early screening but does anyone remember if they felt they heard the "new" Pulp music, on the soundtrack to the film while watching it?

Also, I wonder if it has been dusted down again for the new album...

Anyone do any homework on this? Don't have the DVD, curious if any of the music sounds familiar to More. Possibly not, Jarvis would probably have mentioned it in interviews.

Well overdue a re-watch of this, will see if I can get it watched tonight, and see if anything sounds familiar. However, the booklet does give songwriting credits, which don't imply unreleased Pulp material: includes versions of Being Boiled, Voodoo Ray, Kes soundtrack, etc.  There are versions of Sheffield Sex City, and This Is Hardcore which looks like the only Pulp songs on it. There is a piece titled 'It Stinks', credited to C*cker / Mackey, so I'll try and listen out for that. Stars On Sunday (from Pickled Eggs)is the only other C*cker songwriting credit. The performing musicians include Jarvis, Nick, Candida, and Steve, so it's a lot of Pulp + Hawley, Serafina Steer, and Tim Allcard, and many other musicians.

(edit - turned the page for more credits, idiot)

Tim Allcard! Now we're talking. What's his contribution?

 Listed as percussion. Without digging out 'Sturdy' I can't remember off the top of my head what he played in Pulp, was he bass?

Sadly the live recording is fairly dark (playing to a screening of the film), so can't see anyone well. Can only make out Jarvis, and Serafina because she's got that massive harp.

Edit: can see Nick, Steve, Candi and Hawley there too. There are 2 other dimly lit percussionists behind Jarvis, but I wouldn't recognise Tim Allcard in 2013.

He was Candida's immediate predecessor, but that doesn't quite capture what his role was. 2-finger-keyboard parts, bits of percussion, blowing the hunting horn on live renditions of Silence, and reading poetry between songs! He wasn't exactly a musician, his contribution was more 'vibes'.

I met him in 2003, he's the one in the red top behind John Nicholls. His hair was much shorter than the photos from the 1980s and the beard was gone.

Sorry, forgot to post... Watched, and can't hear echoes of anything from More. I think it's just the material listed in the rear of the booklet (for the live recording and the actual film soundtrack). Frustratingly the music isn't listed in order of play (nor alphabetically by title, composer - can't figure out the rationale), so I can't figure out which piece is the ****er/Mackey 'It Stinks'. The live concert recording of 'This Is Hardcore' is essentially the End Of The Line arrangement, with a bit of bowed saw added. The live version of 'Sheffield Sex City' probably has a different arrangement to the version we know from Babies, but its hard to hear over Nicks drums - and he's doing the classic Nick thing of getting a bit faster! Jarvis is making some shrieks in an echo gismo, and whispering some of the (clean) lyrics, but it's mostly instrumental (Runs 7m 5s).
