Pulp's Line-Up

Note: Pulp's always been changing (especially during the early years in Sheffield - a bad joke is everyone in Sheffield belonged to Pulp at one time or another), these are the line up changes to the best of my knowledge. I may have left a few people off due to inadequate research, feel free to email me if you see any mistakes.

Pulp's always been changing (especially during the early years in Sheffield - a bad joke is everyone in Sheffield belonged to Pulp at one time or another), these are the line up changes that The Original Line Up - 1978 Jarvis Cocker (vocals) Peter Dalton (guitar) David Lockwood (bass) Mark Swift (drums) David Lockwood was kicked out for playing too fast, he'd finish the song as quickly as possible and then lie down while the rest of the band finished the song. Philip Thompson replaces him. Second Time Around - 1980 Jarvis Cocker (vocals) Peter Dalton (guitar) Philip Thompson (bass) Mark Swift (drums) Jimmy Sellers replaces Mark Swift due to more skill. Third Time's A Charm? - August 1980 Jarvis Cocker (vocals) Peter Dalton (guitar) Jimmy Sellers (drums) Philip Thompson (bass) Wayne Furniss and Jamie Pinchbeck replace Jimmy Sellers and Philip Thompson respectively due to better playing ability. And Yet Another Line-Up - 1981 Jarvis Cocker (vocals) Peter Dalton (guitar) Wayne Furniss (drums) Jamie Pinchbeck (bass) Peter Dalton's Dad forces him to leave in order to study law at Nottingham. Jamie Pinchbeck also goes away to University. Simon Hinkler (of Artery) joins, brings along his brother David. Local musician, Peter Boam; Artery drummer Garry Wilson (Beefy GarryO); Furniss transfers to guitar. Jarvis' little sister, Saskia, and friends join as back-up singers. The It Line-Up - 1982 Jarvis Cocker (vocals) Saskia Cocker (back up vocals) Wayne Furniss (guitar) Beefy GarryO (drums) David Hinkler (??) Simon Hinkler (guitar) Jon Short (??) Gill Taylor (back up vocals) Mister Barry Thompson (clarinet and flute) Joanne, Julie and Alison (conversationalists on 'Blue Girls') Simon Hinkler goes back to Artery duties and the band falls apart for awhile, but eventually, Russell Senior joins along with Tim Allcard, Magnus Doyle, and Peter Mansell. Getting There Tim Allcard (keyboards) Jarvis Cocker (vocals) Magnus Doyle (drums) Peter Mansell (bass) Russell Senior (guitar and violin) Tim Allcard turns out to be horrible so Candida Doyle replaces him. The Freaks - 1984 Jarvis Cocker (vocals) Candida Doyle (keyboards) Magnus Doyle (drums) Peter Mansell (bass) Russell Senior (guitar and violin) This band lasts most of Pulp's time at Fire. But due to fights (mostly between those who were committed [Russell and Jarvis] and those who wanted to joke around [Pete and Magnus]). But Magnus and Pete eventually leave to be replaced by Nick Banks and Anthony Genn respectively. And Yet Another Nick Banks (drums) Jarvis Cocker (vocals) Candida Doyle (keyboards) Anthony Genn (bass) Russell Senior (guitar and violin) Anthony Genn turns out to have a taste for acid which gets him kicked out. Stephen Havenhand replaces him. Nearly There Nick Banks (drums) Jarvis Cocker (vocals) Candida Doyle (keyboards) Stephen Havenhand (bass) Russell Senior (guitar and violin) Stephen Havenhand was also known as Fungus. For some reason or another, Steve Mackey replaced him. The Seperations and His 'N' Hers Group - 1992 Nick Banks (drums) Jarvis Cocker (vocals) Candida Doyle (keyboards) Steve Mackey (bass) Russell Senior (guitar and violin) This line-up proves to be successful with Seperations, The Gift Recordings, and His 'N' Hers, but the band decided to add Mark Webber, the guy who had been running their fan club. A Different Class - 1995 Nick Banks (drums) Jarvis Cocker (vocals) Candida Doyle (keyboards) Steve Mackey (bass) Russell Senior (guitar and violin) Mark Webber (guitar) Russell Senior leaves to pursue other projects. Richard Hawley (of the Longpigs) now plays with Pulp at concerts but isn't an official member.
