      The tour continued abroad - I failed to get us tickets for the only UK gig at the Royal Albert Hall in March 2012 - but then they announced Sheffield Arena: "The day that (almost) never happened. A journey back to where it began. May the circle be unbroken – tissues optional."

      By all accounts it was to be the final Pulp concert, bar some cruise gigs (finances were way too tight for that!), so we absolutely had to be there and I was determined to be at the front. We got an early train to Sheffield and sat outside the arena in the bitter cold for hours.

      A couple of guys came up to us, explained they were making a documentary about the band and asked if they could interview us on camera. Bemused but happy to talk, we rabbited on about Pulp, how the two of us met, song lyrics etc. We signed a form and thought no more of it.

      The gig was bittersweet. There were multiple doors to the arena and although after 10 hours queueing we were at the very front of our particular line, it seems other doors were opened sooner than ours, and by the time we got in there was no chance of getting anywhere near front.

      The gig itself was spectacularly good. Dozens of toilet rolls were thrown into the crowd (I kept mine) before "My Lighthouse". Paper canons were fired at the end and we all sang White Christmas - we even got a card, which turned out to be a download of a 'new' song "After You".pic.twitter.com/bEzw0KrGT8

      And that was that. I'd seen Pulp three times (the missus four, grr) and it was all over. Except it wasn't. That bloke who interviewed us outside Sheffield Arena turned out to be film director Florian Habicht and his documentary was a bigger deal than we realised. It was OFFICIAL.

      Pulp: A Film About Life, Death & Supermarkets (2014), starring Pulp and the people of Sheffield, was first screened at SXSW Film Festival in March and the European premiere was to be held at Sheffield City Hall at the Sheffield Doc Fest on 7th June. Then an e-mail arrived...pic.twitter.com/a7FiKCLw6D

      Then we realised what it really meant. "A thank you for your contribution". Oh God. The film was to be simulcast to over a hundred cinemas across the UK. Oh God! What did we talk about? How much footage have they used?! Oh God, we're going to be on cinema screens! 😶

      In the end we didn't have to worry. The missus and I were obviously so boring the director only used one single excerpt from our interview, the bit about how we met. Phew! But honestly, to be party of a documentary about your favourite band, what an honour and a privilege.

          Yes. I've only seen it twice though, once at the premiere, once when it came out on Blu-Ray.
