Tennessee Is Coming To Town
Win Tickets to The Jack Daniel’s Birthday Gig plus Travel and a Night in a
Hotel
Jarvis Cocker will play alongside Richard Hawley and Tennessee guitar legend Duane
Eddy for this year's Jack Daniel's birthday celebrations in London with
Ellie Goulding supporting.
In addition to their original material all four will bring the spirit of
Tennessee to life when they perform a Jack Daniel’s birthday exclusive of
very special collaborations themed around great Americana classics.
September is Mr Jack’s Birthday and this year the good folk at Jack Daniel’s
are bringing Tennessee to Town with a month of fantastic giveaways and this
exclusive gig featuring Jarvis Cocker, Richard Hawley, Duane Eddy and Ellie
Goulding.
Jack Daniel’s long standing association with music began in the late 1800’s
when he created a band of musicians that performed to crowds of people
around the state of Tennessee, the home place of Jack Daniel’s whiskey.
They follow in the footsteps of Patti Smith, Frank Black and Flaming Lips
who are just some of the names to have played at previous Birthday gigs.
We have tickets for you and a friend to attend this exclusive gig, which
takes place at The Clapham Grand in London on 7th October. The prize also
includes one night’s accommodation and £50 travel allowance per person.
To enter, answer this question:
In which US state is the home place of Jack Daniel’s whiskey?
- Tennessee
- Virginia
- Texas
Email your answer with your name, age, DOB, address and telephone number to
jdsetcomps@gmail.com with Jarvis Cocker in the subject line.
For more information on the ‘Tennessee Is Coming To Town’ Birthday gig go to
www.jacksbirthday.co.uk
Entrants must be over 18. T&C’s apply. Competition deadline is Friday 24th
September.
Make Mr. Jack’s Birthday a memorable one. Please drink responsibly.

An apology...
An apology to anyone who went to the concert last night and waited outside for me to return to do some signing to no avail, I am not in the habit of lying and I had been up since 5am to get a flight out of Vancouver and dozed off after soundcheck, my sincerest apologies for not returning. To all those who came to the show - thanks - as it was a great show. Love Jarvis5:20 PM-

- asphodel2 years ago
You are a sweetheart. Truly wish I was going to be able to see you this time around, but this fucking economy is killing me - I can't afford to travel to NYC this time. To all of you that are going: Have a fantastic time (I know you will), and have a beer for me!
- Paul2 years agoIve only seen you three times...when you came here with Blur, at Coachella...and last night which in my humble opinion was the best show out of all of em! Thanks for coming to LA! We love you but more importantly...we NEED you! Come back soon!

Jarvis,
you are more intelligent and witty than most of the so-called expert political people they have on the show.
Looking forward to the next time you are on. - Kai2 years ago
Fan from Germany here, without access to BBC. Could anybody be so kind and give a short resume of what Jarvis said about MJ?
- BowieStar2 years ago
Hi Jarvis!
Great performance!!!!!!!! I hope you can come back to Argentina soon!
Also great what you say about MJackson's death, I'm completely agree with you.
kisses,
Beatriz. - Ash2 years ago
Dumbledore hardly let JC get a word in, Harridan Harman seemed contractually bound to get 90% of the total airtime. Hope JC was booked before Jackson's passing and wasn't being used as a ratings gimmick by the BBC to basically only answer that one Jackson question at the end.
- Bentendo2 years agowas the first time i watched question time in my life...
And yeah, you was the only person there who represented the common mans views on the matters at hand.
We're not all interlectual, politician types you know
Kudos Jarvis :-) - Floozie2 years ago
It was refreshing listening to you talking common sense as there's precious little of that heard on Question Time. You were the only one without an axe to grind and it showed - very entertaining.
- georgia2 years ago
I saw that and I was quite refreshed to see someone state what should have been the bleeding obvious (ie you).
I feel polititions spend so much time talking around the truth that they fail to see that we all know the Emperor isn't acctually wearing any clothes.Well done yougx - Lucy Ambrose2 years ago
As ever, your sound judgement shone out through all the lies and spin. Love and respect to you xxx
- samantha Carmichael2 years ago
watched u on question time, and i thought u was the only one that spoke any sence well done jarvis xxxxxxx

STONE
Art is Love
Love is All
And All is Love
Art in it's purist form, is a taxi home
We forget where we came from
Assured of water dripping through a stone
Everything changes from here on
Meet your maker, Creator
We're All blood, sweat and fears
You're getting warmer, warmer
Yet nowhere near
So: keep it coming
Life will be the death of us
Give up, give in
Surrender to this fantasy of Love
Art is War
Passion loses momentum
Clearly it's the same from here-on
Love is Light, Love is Dark
there is no-gray
Inner-truth of Yin and Yang
Art is everything we fake
So: keep it coming
Life, will be the death of Us
Give-up, give-in
Surrender to this fantasy of Love
Hi Jarvis! Greetings from the best fan in the world! ;)
Jarvis C, Sunday at 16.00 - Accept no substitues!

PLEASE COME TO INDONESIA VERY MANY FANS OF PULP AND YOU IN MY COUNTRY...
been listening to your BBC 6-music docu.. wondering if you were part of my early 80's sheffield with the likes of Sheldon Row Studios & the whole scene at the time.. I think there may be a couple of years between our eras - quite significant at that time.. then I was part of what was the (daytime) resident band at the leadmill.. could be interesting to swap names of who we both know.... regards,
