Has anyone here ever met Jarvis Cocker of Pulp?

[Laurenkfj]

Husband sat opposite him and his wife on the train in first class the other week. Neither of them had a first class ticket and his wife tried to blag it but they were told to pay up.

I guess it was either pay up or move to where the common people were...

 

I'm here all week!

Wanted to sit in a different class.

Any cahnce of JARV IS then, we reckon?

[fuztownsend01]

The John Peel Centre in Stowmarket had a 'Classic Album Sunday' with Jarvis and Pulp's 'Different Class'

I was working the bar and met him briefly beforehand.

Sheila hunted out John's copy of the album and found it to be still in the shrink, so she thought it would be great for him to open it on stage, and give it a spin..

A great day with a Q&A after..

Lives in his head apparently (Guardian interview this week). I can relate to that, fully.

Posted before in this very thread, but here it is again because it is the most truest, honest, accurate lyric ever, ever ever.

 Love this,

I'm hoping for them but Park was my bet so not sure now. Williams Green maybe? Or a late addition to one of the main stages?

His last album, Room 29, sounds like This Is Hardcore part 2.

Loads of video and clips from his live gig at the All Points East festival this weekend on Instagram. He even crowd surfed! He posted about it on his Instagram, too.

I met him very briefly at a signing for Room 29 at Rough Trade East, had my moment ruined by a rather rude man who was behind me barging in front and asking Jarvis lots of inane questions. I was embarrassed in case Jarv thought I was with him so I just let him sign my album and ran away

I very nearly met him at the bar of the Barbican during the interval of Beck's Song Reader concert but I was in the loo and my friends told me when I got back I just missed him, although they could have just been winding me up.

I'm astonished he's not on the line up this year. Thought he'd be nailed on. Saw him at the APE warm up gig at Chat's Palace last week and him and his new band are effing brill.

Yes also met him at the signing with chilly Gonzales, was a great night, he was on great form and seemed very happy, really hoping he turns up at G, maybe a crows nest appearance as well as park tbc?

[Bananaslug]

His show at the Primavera Festival yesterday is up on YouTube. Not all the songs, though. And lots of pics and footage on Instagram. Looks like it was a huge hit!

Anyone seen the recent Jarvis festivals?

[bexj]

Did anyone see Jarvis at this year's festival?

Is this him?  In which case I saw him several times.

[Pinhead]

Lol - Mik is Glastobury's muse and is omnipresent...

[HeyPorter]

He’s popping up on Celebrity Catchphrase tonight, worth a watch. 

[Quark]

Jarvis or Mik?

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

I hope that his new single goes to No. 1 in the first week of the New Year.

He's been on tons of shows this week - some of them not mentioning the push with that song too.

It’s not a new single, it was released in 2005 I think. But it’s been picked up as a protest song after the recent general election.

Thanks for the clarification mr flow. I like the song in any case.

As an undergraduate at Leeds University, around 1995, I lived in a flat behind the Student Union. I recall overhearing Pulp playing and Jarvis singing Common People. I heard him launch in to that diatribe bit in the song, where he goes really over the top.  As it was an alcoholic establishment, in Yorkshire; I  was deeply concerned that the way Jarvis was singing this song, was going to cause some kind of brawl. But It didn't and after the song, the band just packed up and left.

Pleased to see JARV IS on the line up poster. Noticed he’s planning to tour in May too, anyone seen him in this form before and does he play much or any Pulp?
