EVER wondered what that gangly chap Jarvis Cocker got up to long before he flashed his underpants at Michael Jackson at the Brit Awards?
Or what Long Blondes singer Kate Jackson did in her time off?
Both reveal themselves from tomorrow when South Yorkshire gets a new festival of music and film with a difference. As well as unveiling a few screen rareties Sensoria will expose the other side of a couple of local icons for the first time.
For fans of Sheffield's much lamented Pulp and the enigma that is Jarvis Cocker, one of the key elements of the festival which centres on Sheffield's Showroom cinema all next week is a showing of art school films made by the Intake lad who went on to headline Glastonbury.
Way before he took Pulp on to international acclaim Jarvis was making a name for himself at London's St Martin's College and went on to create footage few outside his circle of friends have seen.
