Explained simply
Pulp are a band from Sheffield who became widely known during the 1990s, with singer Jarvis Cocker among their best-known members. The city has played a central part in the band’s history, and local venues are closely linked to their early years.
Sheffield’s Walk of Fame recognises people and groups associated with the city. The Hallamshire Hotel is a pub connected to Pulp’s past, so the planned events bring together a civic tribute and a celebration at a venue with a personal link to the band.
