Pulp Receive Heritage Award

On Monday, May 4, one of Britain’s most loved and successful groups, Pulp, will be presented with a PRS for Music Heritage Award where the band first gigged in the 1980s, The Leadmill, Sheffield.

Pulp, led by frontman Jarvis Cocker, first played at The Leadmill in August 16, 1980, recording tracks in the typical electronic new wave ‘Sheffield sound’ of the time. The band went on to achieve enormous success in the UK and worldwide, selling millions of albums and playing sold out gigs, including Glastonbury in 1995, where Common People became a touchstone anthem during their headline act.

The award-winning Leadmill is Sheffield’s longest running live music venue and club. The venue has been central to the emergence and dominance of iconic British music for 35 years. To celebrate the 35th anniversary and plaque unveiling, BBC6 Music’s Steve Lamacq will be broadcasting live from The Leadmill. This will follow performances from the Mystery Jets, Slow Club and a special birthday club night headlined by Jarvis Cocker and bandmate Steve Mackey’s Desperate Soundsystem.

The Heritage Award plaque will be unveiled at The Leadmill by the full band on Monday, May 4 at 5pm.

The PRS for Music Heritage Award was established in 2009 to recognise important live music venues where artists launched their careers. Previous recipients include Elton John, Blur, Soul II Soul, Faithless, Spandau Ballet and Queen.
