I didn't expect to get a negative email! Just a big void. I imagine Radio 2 still has zillions of listeners and it sounds like they promoted it heavily there.

Let's be gracious and welcome potential new Pulp hardcore obsessives in the future who one day may also take their daily espresso at this esteemed Bar Italia.

Mostly from London anyway aren't they? And I don't think the Pulp fan distribution really matches.

Made a note in my diary on the way here.  It simply said 'Bugger'.

Let's just hope that when BBC Two air the concert one Saturday in June they'll give us a decent evening of Pulp programming and not just lazily schedule some general Britpop filler alongside it.

I think we can safely assume they'll have cobbled together a Pulp At The BBC compilation using their performances on TOTP and Jools Holland, maybe even Friday Night With Jonathan Ross, peppered with clips of things like Pop Quiz and Live & Kicking. I wouldn't be surprised if they also wheel out No Sleep Till Sheffield (it's been on BBC Four a handful of times) and/or The Story of Pulp's Common People.

Of course, what I'd really like to see turn up is the Eden Project show from 2002, unseen since BBC Choice originally aired it; my ropey old VHS recording that's been floating around the Internet for the past couple of decades could do with a long rest.

Slightly off topic but I've got a digital copy of the Eden Project gig somewhere, Pip. Obviously not in 4K but if you want me to upload it somewhere I'm happy to see if I can find it

Has an evening of Pulp at the Beeb on TV been confirmed?

 No, but BBC Two have been regularly devoting Saturday evenings to music for the past few years, often focused around a particular band/artist, so you could put good money on Pulp getting their turn with this exclusive concert - there's not really anywhere else in the current schedule it would fit.

 That would be wonderful, yes please! (though if it starts with a Sky on-screen EPG flashing up just before the start of the programme, that's my tape!).

Unsurprisingly I did not get a ticket.

Folks, the first promoting-new-Pulp public performance is mere days away!

The Elysians posted a rehearsal photo today, presumably for the performance. What do we think the set will be? And will it foreshadow the 2025 live set?

I'm really curious as to what the opening song to start the summer shows will be. It's always a strong statement of intent. They've done DYRTFT and I Spy on the reunions. I guess Spike Island is a likely choice. I would love for it to be She's A Lady though. It worked great as an opener when Jarv Is... started their gigs in 2021 with it. The Elysians could really give their strings a proper work-out with the extended intro and Pulp haven't played the song live since....1994??!!!

It will be lucky to get even an encore outing ever again, sadly...

Nah, the opener has to be uplifting, vintage (as in '92 - '95 which is the most distinctive Pulp sound) or something new. And if it's something new it'll probably have to have been released which thus far, means Spike Island.

 I think they'll stick with I Spy most likely, especially if the Elysians are there.

For what it's worth, I'm thinking of taking a train down to London and hanging around Broadcasting House on the off-chance... (I've just been brutally, er, 'cobbed' so I've not got much else to do at the moment!)

So that's why you were tweeting about heartbreaking Pulp songs....sorry, bud. It's never easy. Hope a Pulp summer cheers you up a bit.

 It's 15 minutes walk from my office, but haven't blagged my way into a gig for a long time, and it looks like one of the least-blaggable locations.

Was just thinking about what the intro song will be. 5 weeks from Dublin. Cannot wait. I also thought they might stick with I Spy. The drama of it. It is such a perfect opener.

You're so right about the opener being a statement of intent. And we know Pulp pay real attention to that kind of thing. I always remember Jarvis talking about how strong the opening lines of a song need to be. Helped me out at school no end in English class! Start and finish strong I wouldn't vote for Spike Island as the opener. Think they should start with something more known though I did wonder about it.

Sunrise is a cracker live. Wonder will they play it. Looking forward to hearing the setlist.

I'm a bit out of the loop. Are the strings going to be on the tour? That will be brilliant. I cannot wait to hear the magical Hymn of the North live. What a song that is.
