Yes she is here doing some events. Great timing. I appreciated that Jarvis when introing BFC highlighted the children this album was supporting. I'm keen to also here man of the moment Cameron Winter's track.
Interesting comments from James Ford, producer of More:
Pulp - "Begging for Change"
"Begging For Change" nearly made it onto Pulp's last record, "More", but I actually think that Jarvis [****er, frontman] has had that track around for years. He could never finish the lyrics. I called him up about being a part of this, and he immediately suggested trying to finish that off. Some of the track is from the "More" sessions, and then they took it into Abbey Road and overdubbed certain things like choirs.
It's a pretty insistent and heavy thing from them. With that lyric, it seemed to fit like a glove. I think Jarvis is still living in this record. We had a great time making "More" and it came about quite quickly, but it had been brewing for a while. Jarvis is pretty prolific, but I'm sure there's a fair amount of fermenting to do before there's another album ready to go.
We might be living through a repeat of the mid 1990s:
Successful albums in 1995 and 2025, new material debuted in 1996 and 2026 (we still have the rest of the year), a break followed by singles in 1997 and 2027 then albums in 1998 and 2028.
No, funding fell through for the Hammersmith shows so they weren't filmed. The two O2 arena shows last summer were done instead after money was put up for them.
