About Jarvis Cocker on ‘Good Pop, Bad Pop’

Listed Under Books Events / Talks and Lectures Events

We are so excited to welcome none other than PULP frontman, musician and broadcaster, Jarvis Cocker, to St Andrews in celebration of Good Pop, Bad Pop. We are especially delighted to host Jarvis in the newly refurbished and iconic Younger Hall.

Jarvis’ attic, like all attics, hosts a random collection of the things that made him – photos, tickets, clothes, souvenirs stuffed in a box, packed in a suitcase, crammed into a drawer. When Jarvis starts clearing out his loft, he finds a jumble of objects that catalogue his story and ask him some awkward questions: Who do you think you are? Are clothes important? Why are there so many pairs of broken glasses up here?

From a Gold Star polycotton shirt to a pack of Wrigley’s Extra, from his teenage attempts to write songs to the Sexy Laughs Fantastic Dirty Joke Book, this is the hard evidence of Jarvis’s unique life, PULP, 20th century pop culture, the good times and the mistakes he’d rather forget. And this accumulated debris of a lifetime reveals his creative process – writing and musicianship, performance and ambition, style and stagecraft. This is not a life story. It’s a loft story.

This is sure to be one of the busiest nights of our event schedule. We have a limited number of special Bring a Friend for £5 places available, so make sure to book on early!
