Mark Webber (guitarist)

He is most famous for playing in Pulp (since 1995), and appearing on all of their albums since their Mercury Music Prize-winning LP Different Class. Webber first met the band in 1986 while producing a fanzine called Cosmic Pig. He was originally the president of Pulp's fan club.^[1] Before joining the group Webber had helped make stage sets and was their tour manager.^[2]

Webber's musical instruments include: Gretsch Viking guitar, Gibson ES-345, Gibson Les Paul Custom guitar, Gibson Firebird guitar, Yamaha acoustic, Fender Jazzmaster, and Rhodes Piano.^{[citation needed]}

In 1998 Webber curated the "Underground America" film presentation at the Barbican.^[3] When Pulp started a decade-long break in 2001, Webber travelled the world presenting avant garde films. He is a fan of the Velvet Underground and has been influenced by Andy Warhol.^[4] His amplifier on stage can often be seen to bear the legend "Warhol". He is also a pianist and has played piano on a few Pulp songs.

In September 2024, Webber published the book, I'm With Pulp, Are You?, a personal history of the band illustrated with photos and ephemera from his own extensive collection.^[5][6]
