Jools: Photos show Pulp in the proscenium end of Ally Pally, so presume that means they're the main act with 3 songs? (missed the last series, so don't know if we still get 3). Full band, plus quartet (Elysian quartet?). Other acts: The Hives, Suzanne Vega, Wunderhorse. Andrew McKinney has posted a couple of pics on threads.

also it was always a dream for me to be in the audience for a taping of Later with Jools. Lols. I know someone who was in the audience for one that David Bowie was on. I think it was from 2002? Heathen album.
I was at the 2001 pulp one and I THINK i went to a Jarvis one. Also the Radiohead special, you can see the back of my head in that one haha
This is all so exciting. Brings back the excitement I felt in 2001 for a new Pulp record. I cannot wait for Dublin. I've got my t shirt at the ready.
Was listening to WLL last night coming home from band practice and just thinking how great Sunrise was live in 2023. What an album closer. The pounding drums, the guitar, the lyrics, bloody great song. Jarvis' moves against the graphics at the 2023 gig. Bloody love it. Hurry up Glasgow so I can see what the setlist holds. Is the setlist we saw the other day a clue? Are we gonna hear Dishes on this tour? :)
I'm going to avoid this forum (very hard for me!) between the Glasgow and Dublin gigs so if we meet beforehand by the Liffey, don't be revealing any spoilers, maith an cailín
I have been known to read the last page of a book so that I'm emotionally prepared and get no surprises! I'll definitely be having a look at the Glasgow setlist but I won't say anything, Eamonn
I'm likely bringing my dear mam to the gig. She brought me to my first one in 1996 when i was a young un, I was surprised she wanted to go, think it's for old times sake. And she's on a live life to the full buzz since she had the big C. We're heading to Dublin earlier in the day and she'll probably want to pop in somewhere for a carvery but if I get a chance I might get to see you beforehand, Eamonn! I'm tempted to go early and try get up near the front. Never been right up there.
Interesting to note in the Record Collector article, Jarvis says that they demo'd songs before the album sessions. I wonder when, where and how many tracks and if any of these songs were not recorded in the album sessions.
Potential scope for inclusion on a More deluxe edition in a few months (or a few decades, after WLL finally gets its turn...).
It is cool that we have a pretty comprehensive (if maybe not full) recording session history on Pulpwiki of Pulp in the studio over the years. As i don't think it's all that common for artists to share such info. I might be wrong but I think Mark Webber initially gave the details to Alex Deck for Pulppeople/the official website. Any chance he could update us with all the 2023-24 studio deets?!
Do you have to book? I'm glad to see it's on between 2 and 6. Will have to take a day off work but means I can be home in time to watch repeats of The Chase with me cuppa and be in bed by 10pm

Ah, I just went onto the Facebook page of the record shop in Dublin. Tower Records Dublin says it's on between 2 and 6pm but no details of booking or anything so I thought it might be a free for all. I've no idea how these listening parties work.
Spindizzy Records Dublin doesn't have anything up yet so I'd say just look at the social media of the shop you're interested in.
Jean, two geeky Irish lads from Hotpress did a podcast on Different Class to mark the Pulp cover feature on the new issue, might be of interest. For everyone else, the accents might be hard going at times. We can't all sound like Mescal and Scott. I mean, I kinda do but...
