Halifax Piece hall '91 video...

Thanks to Will at Pulpwiki, a guy has recently left a message there detailing a video recording of the Halifax Piece hall show from 1991. Sturdy, i know you have a recording of this, where you aware of a video? is your recording possibly lifted from this same tape?  Lots of stuff keeps rearing its beautiful head from '91, i would love to see this.

Ah yes. I did know about that video, but thought it was from '92 rather than '91. Michael, the chap who posted the message (and put on the gigs and made the video) still promotes in Halifax and we had a brief chat about it when my band played for him a few years back. Never got to see the video, so great to hear that it's going to materialise.

This is great news - just taking a look at the setlist here is exciting - www.pulpwiki.net/Pulp/Live310891PieceHallHalifax

I'm looking forward to seeing such an early version of Babies.

It did get a great reception whenever it was played live back then and during this time the band were pretty sure it would be the first, fully made-in-the-1990's Pulp single.

The whole ''play the new/hit single twice in a set, including once to finish the show" is a common enough ritual for up and coming bands. I'm not sure how often Pulp did it - was this the last time?

I didn't know it was that popular! Such a shame it was never released, could have been huge. That Mark Goodier session sounds better than anything on His n Hers.

This is Michael's original message, posted on the wiki:


This may be of interest to some of you. I put on Pulp three times in Halifax when I ran the Return Club. The 1991 headline show was at the Piece Hall in Halifax and I've recently had an old video of the show converted to dvd. Having not seen it I didn't expect much but it's great! the sound quality is fine and Jarvis is in cracking form. The show itself was reviewed by Dave Simpson for Melody Maker.
In March of this year I'm launching the Halifax Music Heritage Trail and the film will be part of that (as well as a plaque unveiling to commemorate when Pulp played at North Bridge Leisure Centre. A website for the trail will be launched in the next couple of months but if anyone wants to know more about the trail, plaque unveiling or the film then do email me at hxmusictrail@gmail.com

I've been informed that the Piece Hall video will be shown at the trail launch on Thursday, 20th March (tickets free, but limited).
