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 helped 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 began to contribute to songwriting and recordings before being asked to join the group in 1995. This incredible story – from being a fan to joining his favourite band – provides the unique perspective of I’m With Pulp, Are You?

Pulp was formed in 1978, while frontman Jarvis Cocker was still at school. Many years and personnel changes later, they finally achieved widespread recognition in the 1990s with hit singles like Babies, Do You Remember the First Time?, Disco 2000, and Common People, and albums Different Class and This is Hardcore. The release of We Love Life in 2001 was followed by a decade-long hiatus that many expected would be the end of the band. After first making a surprise return to play live in 2011-12, they reunited again in 2023 to begin an “encore” that still continues. Sold-out shows and festivals have been rapturously received, and a new LP, More, topped the UK charts on its release in June 2025.

I’m With Pulp, Are You? tells the inside story of one of Britain’s most beloved bands by combining personal reminiscences with images from the extensive collection of ephemera assembled by Mark Webber during four decades of involvement with the group. The new paperback edition has been expanded and updated to incorporate Pulp’s recent burst of activity.
