LEE'S COCKER HOOP!

The Pulp star joins the cult singer for an evening's entertainment...

PULP
frontman JARVIS COCKER is to make a guest appearance at cult singer LEE HAZLEWOOD's forthcoming LONDON show.


The star will open the evening's entertainment at the Royal Festival Hall on September 22.


Cocker, a long time fan of Hazlewood, featured on the recent Hazlewood tribute album 'Total Lee!: The
Songs Of Lee Hazlewood', covering 'The Cheat' with Richard Hawley.


Hazlewood is best known for his work with Nancy Sinatra, such as 'These Boots
Were Made For Walking' and 'Some Velvet Morning', recently covered by Primal Scream on their 'Evil Heat' album.


Pulp are currently preparing for their Carling Weekend shows at Reading (August 23) and Leeds (August 24). The band are set to release a 'Best Of' later this year, though tracklisting and release date have yet to be confirmed.
