Hi there!

As mentioned in a previous thread, the 14th July Arena gig is also coincidentally the 20th anniversary of my book, 'Truth & Beauty: the Story of Pulp' coming out. I'd be delighted if anyone wanted to join me in raising a glass to it that afternoon.

I've booked out the Snug at Shakespeare's (146-148 Gibraltar St, S3 8UB) from 3pm so that should give us a good few hours to hang out before heading to the Arena. I might even bring a couple of spare copies of the book so anyone who needs a copy can get one direct from source at the original cover price, rather than shelling out daft prices on Ebay. (Do let me know if you'd be in the market for this, as I'm not gonna lug them with me if no one says they want one!)

There might even be one or two special guests - will have to see about that though...

Think that's about it - do RSVP if you think you'll come along.

My coach pulls into Pond Street at 12.15. Then I have to find my accommodation on City Road (if lastminute.com haven't fucked up) but I'll head up that way as soon as I've got myself sorted.

I visited the Shakespeare on my way back from The Wicker, back in September. It's between Lady's Bridge and Shalesmore isnt it? I had a very nice apricot and passionfruit beer, but I doubt they'll still have it in stock.

I see you've posted this to one of the Facebook Pulp groups, Sturdy. If you join/post it to the other (Pulp band fan group) it should get more traction as it has a few thousand more members.

Wow ! 20 years since I requested Truth and Beauty for my birthday at age 12 ! 

 

I've still got your book Sturdy, and spent many a school night reading it in bed when really, I should have been asleep

You've obviously heard it a thousand times but - it's a great great book Sturdy ! Thanks for my 12th birthday present 20 years ago !

Unfortunately, I will be working so getting to Sheffield for that time is impossible. Hope you all have a great time at both the meet up and the show.

That's a very good question. In some ways, what was he ever up to...

 

(Funnily enough, someone has just given me his email address so I might actually be about to find out)

Well, I've dropped him a line so you never know!

I never actually met him myself - a lot of the interviews I did were phoners.

My ticket is for Saturday, so I was planning on only staying over on the Saturday night, but am very tempted to extend for the Friday night. It would be really lovely to meet up with you all.

Don't worry about the swearing Sturdy, my 12 year old mind was already busy trying to work out the meaning of a line in Do you remember first time - something regarding a toy reaching places

 

Honestly though, your book set me off deep down the Pulp path. Reading about Tree Bound Story help me discover Richard Hawley, who at the time had just released Coles Corner and that turned out to be 'Album of the week' on Mark Radcliffes BBC radio 2 show. It was literally me discovering one thing after another through reading your book.

i arrive in town on the 14th. would be great to meet up with like minded folks!!!

I have a ticket for sat, but wondering if it would be worth heading up with you folks on friday. both as a trial run (since i'm from waaaay out of town), but also if anyone outside needs to ditch a ticket.

do people use venmo or paypal for those situations? or will i need to have money in hand?.....45 years old and never done it lol

 

i'll be staying at the leopold.  if anyone wants to reach out my email is my profile name at gmail

Did reach out to Tris Drew and told him about the meet up as he and his band mates are going to see the show on Friday.

Just got a ticket for Friday. Anyone else going on both nights? Hope there's some set list variation.

So the Leopold have managed to add an extra night on for me on Friday on top of the original Saturday that I had booked. I'd love to come to Shakespeare's. I never indulged in a copy of Truth and Beauty when I was first tempted as I was concerned at the time that I was already losing myself to an unhealthy degree in Pulpworld, but I am in a much healthier state now, so if you do have a spare copy Sturdy, I think this would be a good time.
