| Note | Former Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker takes you on an intimate tour of Sheffield. In his evocative musical map, Jarvis creates a soundtrack that drives his memories, feelings and observations about his home town. Growing up in a city that was still reeling from the loss of big industry, Jarvis recalls his childhood, surrounded by family, and listening to conversations about love and disappointment. Along the way, he introduces the music of Sheffield legends, including Joe Cocker, Cabaret Voltaire, The Human League and Artery. |

| Comment | Jarvis Cocker's "Musical Map of Sheffield" is a gripping account of the places, people and experiences that shaped the singer: family life with Mum but without Dad; the meningitis that almost killed him; his dreams of living in space; and the infamous Lederhosen Incident, when he was sent to school wearing leather shorts. "The good thing about the Sheffield character," he says, "is that people aren't impressed with whether you're supposed to be somebody or something. If you start trying to throw your weight around or having airs or graces ... you'll just get decked." Fleshing things out are music from Cabaret Voltaire and the Human League, social commentary from Karl Marx, and a stirring speech from David Blunkett, before he went over to the dark side.
