The Defining Ten is where an artist/creative is invited to take us on a musical dot-to-dot journey of the tracks that led them to who they are today. These could be the first song they have a memory of, first purchase, first song they learnt to play, the track that opened doors, the track that closed doors, a track that inspired and led to a new musical direction – so expect a variety of tracks from themselves and other artists. These tracks will be played in turn – either from vinyl, CD or streamed – and discussed with the artist. On Thursday 30th January we welcome Mark Webber from the beloved band Pulp to Worthing to discuss his Defining Ten.
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 first 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.
At the end of 2024 he released the book “I’m With Pulp, Are You?” which draws on an extensive collection of ephemera and objects that Mark has accumulated over four decades of 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 to present a unique history of 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.
We are extremely excited to have Mark discussing the 10 songs which have defined his musical career which will be followed by a Q&A.
