PULP PROGRAMME, TICKET AND FLYERS IN U.K. AND JAPAN

This is the programme for the Heineken Music Festival at Roundhay Park, Leeds, on 22 July 1995, at which Pulp headlined, though there was a pretty good undercard, including Sleeper, Skunk Anansie and a very early Catatonia. Pulp were fantastic, and it was one of the last big shows where I forced my way to the front of the crowd.

These are a flyer and ticket for the Japan Tour 1998. The concert at Akasaka Blitz, Tokyo, on 18 September 1998, was a bit disappointing, as Jarvis Cocker had become quite a lot darker since the heady days of Britpop in 1995.

This is a flyer for a 'Talk Event' at HMV in Shibuya, Tokyo, on 20 September 1998, which I attended. It was an odd event, with lots of inane questions, including one asking what Cocker had done on his birthday, which had fallen a couple of days before. He answered that they'd travelled to Hakone and seen the "Smoking Mountain," aka Owakudani, Hakone, a volcanic hillside that is a popular tourist attraction where it appears that the mountain is belching out smoke.
