Jarvis Cocker in Conversation: Good Pop, Bad Pop

Fri 30 Sep 2022

PLAYHOUSE

£13 - £26

Join legendary musician and broadcaster Jarvis Cocker live in conversation to celebrate the publication of his highly regarded new book Good Pop, Bad Pop.

Jarvis will be discussing his unique life, Pulp, 20th century pop culture, the good times and the mistakes he’d rather forget.

We all have a random collection of the things that made us - photos, tickets, clothes, souvenirs, stuffed in a box, packed in a suitcase, or crammed in a drawer. When Jarvis Cocker cleared out his loft, he found a jumble of objects that catalogued his story and asked him some awkward questions. Now Jarvis takes us through the accumulated debris of a lifetime, revealing his creative process – writing and musicianship, performance and ambition, style and stagecraft.

Good Pop, Bad Pop asks whether the things we keep hidden say more about us than those we put on display. 

Proceeds in support of Ron’s Place, of which Jarvis is Patron.

Jarvis will be signing books after the show.
