Jarvis Cocker was featured in AQA 'A' level exams two years ago, as some of his lyrics were included in one of the questions on the examination.
He also has another geographical connection which is worth exploring.
Be Kinder is a project that was set in the Peak District in 2020. I was hoping to go along, but was in the Peaks the wrong weekend.
'Country Walking' magazine had a feature on an art and music project he has completed with Jeremy Deller. The project has now ended, but the ideas are worth revisiting perhaps for those wanting to set up a piece which is place specific.
It's also worth reading Stuart Maconie's column in this magazine if you get the chance. He has writtten a range of accessible travel books on different regions of Engaland, including one on the north of England.
