It’s a bit of an ongoing joke on NSC with Cowfold - wasn’t serious etc.

That’s shite news - big part of my youth growing up

RIP

Travelling to an away game (forgot which) I fell asleep listening to Pulp on an MP3 player (remember those)...

Woke up and Jarvis Cocker was sitting in the seat next to me.

Pulp. I mean, that was like, yesterday!

Huge band for me in my twenties.

 

[Icy Gull]

I hope they all met up in the year 2000

Meant to be seeing Pulp play in July this year.

Steve Mackey had announced that he was not going to join Pulp in the reunion, he wanted to concentrate on his own music producing and also his photography career. I imagine that the gigs will still go ahead.
RIP Steve
