Has anyone here ever met Jarvis Cocker of Pulp?

[Bananaslug]

If so..what's he like and any cool stories? And is anyone else here a pulp fan?

[eFestivals]

Yep, I have.

I went to see Tom Tom Club at one of the Camden venues about 15 years ago. After the show i went looking for Chris Frantz to say hello as I'd interviewed him a few weeks before, and he was stood with Jarvis having a chat.

I didn't speak much with Jarvis, but he was very nice and kindly took the pic below of Chris and me. I don't rate Jarvis's photography skills.

Lol!!!! That's funny. 

Doesnt seem too bad a photographer.  ?

[CaledonianGonzo]

I met him when I was studying sculpture at St Martin's College.

[deebeedoobee]

Passed him last year being helped down from the crows nest by Florence and some other woman.

[Amy Lawn]

[CaledonianGonzo]

Bumped into him once at a rave, but the conversation didn't go very far.

[wirralchris]

Yep, backstage at Y-not festival 2014. He was there with Palma Violets. He's a funny guy.

[Hugh Jass]

Got chatting to him backstage* at Leeds in 2002 after they had played, he bummed a fag off me. I was studying English at the time and he bought me a pint and we talked about books for about 20 minutes. A really cool guy.

*The one and only time I've managed to wangle VIP for anything.

[ian the worm]

Rather niche dissertation!

I served him some drinks that he paid for. 

[majormajormajor]

I was out for a run on the canal in Shoreditch a couple of years ago and ran past him. I went to high-five him as I jogged past, he enthusiastically obliged me.

I used to work in China town and he walked into the shop I was in. Now I was master butcher before I fell off a cliff and broke my back so don't know if he's a veggie but he didn't stay long in my part of the shop so didn't get to talk to him.. Seemed a miserable bloke to me.. 

I have served mick Hucknall tho and he IS A MISERABLE GIT lol

Lol!!! Miserable how?

 

Was the shop displaying animals etc? 

I think his girlfriend is vegan. She runs or ran some kinda food blog.  And he mightve converted too.

Um, that's pretty much what your hair looked like at the meet last year Neil...

[the wonderwhy]

he's really tall 

[Johnnyseven]

I haven't, but when I was 17 (1995) I went with my mates to see Supergrass. Bluetones and Ash at the Astoria 2 and my mates met him at the bar while I was watching Ash. My wife, who loves him, also served him when she worked at Liberty.

[rubenz]

I seen him up by the hedge near the railway line one time. Seemed like a nice chap but I needed a piss so no time for pleasantries 

[Funkyfairy!]

No but I love love Pulp

JC and MH are easily the least interesting bit of this story.

If there's anyone who looks like they could do with a good meaty pie, it's old Jarv.

My story - He sat in front of us at the Stone Roses gig at Sheffield Arena in 1995.

[VCK]

Seems like an incredibly likeable bloke and by all reports, he is.

He just needs to reunite Pulp again.

[henry bear]

I worked in Paris for a while a few years ago, and apparently the cafe a few doors down from my apartment was owned by Jarvis, but unfortunately I never saw him. So, no.

[henry bear]

Btw, helpful of the OP to clarify which Jarvis Cocker he means.

I know what you mean. Those Jarvis Cocker's are like vermin, there's that many of them.

I think it's the singer, from Sheffield.  He sang the theme tune to The Wonder Years.
