I’m excited to finally share the stuff I’ve saved, and to present it in this way, along with memories of my experiences of being involved in Pulp from the ‘80s ’til now.Webber’s unique journey into joining the line-up is also explored in the book, as it recalls how he discovered the group as a teenage fan in 1985 and grew his relationship with Jarvis Cocker and co.
