One of my favourite albums is the David Bowie BBC Radio Theatre one from 2000. I was just thinking yesterday how, at that time Bowie was a good 7 or 8 years younger than Pulp are presently... whuch kunda blew my mind!
Great show. That particular live version of 'Stay' with Earl Slick on guitar is my all-time fave.
With performances from Sheffield Britpop legends Pulp, Swedish rockers The Hives, American singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega, rising star Nectar Woode and London band Wunderhorse.
Pulp: Radio 2 In Concert Sunday 1st June 2025 BBC Two 22:45-23:50 (starts 23:15 in Northern Ireland)
Pulp perform an intimate and exclusive show for BBC Radio 2 In Concert, with Jarvis ****er and the band playing some of their most-loved classic hits as well as exclusive tracks from their album More. Recorded at the BBC Radio Theatre in Londons Broadcasting House in front of a small audience of lucky fans, and introduced by Jo Whiley, this is a world exclusive from Jarvis, Candida Doyle, Nick Banks, Mark Webber and the band, playing hits including Something Changed, Disco 2000, Do You Remember the First Time?, Dishes, Sunrise, Sorted for Es & Wizz, and Common People, alongside new Pulp songs Spike Island, Tina, Got to Have Love, Farmers Market and A Sunset.
Sadly the 'Pulp theme night' I hoped for is a no-show - they've dedicated the whole of the Saturday evening to Bruce Springsteen instead.
Ta. Do we need a new thread for Pulp Alive in '25 media appearances? Apparently they will be featured on a German arts TV show this weekend called Dar Este including rehearsal footage!
Twenty-four years after their last album, the legendary Brit-pop band PULP has released a new album, "More." The band's great ironists reveal a surprisingly melancholic quality at times. "ttt" was privileged to accompany the musicians, led by Jarvis ****er, to an exclusive rehearsal and then met them for an interview. Naturally, the interview also touches on personal matters: how, for example, does ****er, at 61, experience what he ironically wrote at 33: "Help the aged. One time they were just like you. Drinking, smoking cigs and sniffing glue." And in general: are these eternal trendsetters still avant-garde after almost a quarter-century hiatus?
Just heard RadMac on 6 Music saying they are having Candida on in "a couple of weeks" and a trail for Nick Grimshaw's Thursday programme saying he has an interview with Jarvis and Candida.

We'll use the one thing we've got more of, that's our minds.
There's some after-show party with Jo Wiley on Radio 2 on the 29th. Not sure exactly how it works. Do we have to go to the nearest Wetherspoons and let Webber and Doyle know what table we're on, so they can buy us a whiskey sour and a G&T ?

Thanks Holtby, naturally I'll have to keep both, haha :)
For ease I've just published a news article on the Pulp Wiki site with all the relevant *official* links to the various versions of the BBC sessions: pulpwiki.net/
Thanks seductivebarry. Just to clarify for everyone, these links are the video and audio from the current iPlayer version of the Radio 2 gig. Two songs are missing. iPlayer will be updated with the full gig after it has been on TV on Sunday night.
