Jarvis Cocker

Jarvis Cocker has been making music for over two-thirds of his life. Over two-dozen of these years were spent in Pulp, a group with whom he enjoyed most of the experiences you can have as the singer in a band.

First feted by John Peel and then ignored during the long Dole Years, the group eventually became the country’s slowest overnight sensation during a heady period book-ended by ‘Common People’ becoming a touchstone anthem at their Glastonbury headline slot in 1995, and Jarvis invading the stage during Michael Jackson’s performance at the Brit Awards eight months later.
