"I’m With Pulp, Are You?" - Mark Webber in Conversation

(in association with Ulster Presents)
Tickets: £10

For this in-conversation event, PULP guitarist MARK WEBBER gives his unique perspective on being a fan of the band, and then being the guitarist in the band!

When Mark Webber discovered Pulp as a teenage music fan in 1985, the band was on first-name terms with most of their limited audience. Over the next few years, Mark began to help out with stage sets and light shows, eventually becoming the group’s tour manager and running the fan club. Having been called upon to play guitar and keyboards at live shows, he was asked to join the band in 1995 and appears on the albums Different Class,This is Hardcore and We Love Life.

When Pulp went on hiatus in 2002, Mark devoted his time to curating avant-garde cinema and published several books on the subject. He’s since been part of both Pulp reunion tours and remains in the band as it embarks on more concerts in 2025.

This incredible backstory—from being a fan to joining his favourite band—provides the unique perspective of the book I’m With Pulp, Are You?, which gathers material from Mark’s extensive collection of ephemera and objects accumulated over the last five decades of his involvement with the band.

The book combines images and reminiscences to chronicle an illustrated history of Pulp, told from the inside. It contains photographs, flyers, record covers, set lists, badges, posters, press clippings, and merchandise, alongside masses of promotional material from one of Britain’s most beloved bands.

I’m With Pulp, Are You? also features a foreword by Jarvis Cocker, and newly commissioned essays by music writers Simon Reynolds and Luke Turner.
