Pulp subsequently undertook a tour of the National Parks in the UK, even playing a show as far north as Elgin in Scotland. Richard Hawley , the Sheffield-based singer/songwriter, was also present on various dates on this tour. He later described it as “very much pink feather boas and glamour which was great and brilliant. That was about trying to find glamour among all the shit and I loved all that”. In 2002 the band announced that they were leaving their label, Island. A greatest hits package was released: Hits , with one new track. It is unclear whether this was the band’s decision or released to satisfy contractual agreements. A music festival, Auto, was organised (held at Rotherham’s Magna centre) where they played their last gig before embarking on a 9-year hiatus.
