SUNDAY 1
Glasgow
I Pulp Barrowlanti. Gallowgate. 552 4601. 7.30pm. SOLD OUT. Respect to Jarvis Cocker for being the first Top Of The Pops presenter in ages to announce the Number One as ‘top of the pops!‘. Clearly he and his band deserve that accolade for themselves. and it probably won't be long in coming what with Radio 1 deciding recently that ‘Common People‘ was the quintessential Britpop hit of the year. See feature.
