Pulp fans can all remember the first time, that moment they were carried away by Jarvis Cocker expressing an idea that was simultaneously improbably romantic, mildly perverse and, for all it reached to express something universal, could have emerged from a kitchen sink drama set in a grimy bedsit.
Those who have experienced this heady feeling include Mark Webber but, where most of us discovered Pulp circa Britpop or later, Webber was there from the beginning, a teenage fan in the 80s. Later, he worked for the band and then, in 1995, became Pulp’s guitarist at the height of their fame.
