Jarvis Cocker has just played his first major UK festival as a solo artist, appearing on the Obelisk main stage tonight (July 15).

Entertaining the crowd with witty digressions throughout his hour-long set, the full charm offensive of Jarvis was in full effect.

Jarvis lapsed into almost improv comedy saying things like: โ€œThis is the first time weโ€™ve played in daylight. You can tell our age. My faceโ€ฆ hangingโ€ฆ hangingโ€ฆ hangingโ€ฆ like dust in a funeral parlour.โ€

Only having made one solo record, Jarvis performed pretty much everything from it. Plus he gave us a second chance to hear his cover of Survivorโ€™s โ€˜Eye Of The Tigerโ€™ which he first performed at his own curated Meltdown Festival last month.
