East life Picture: Dave Guttridge Colleen interviewing Classic Album Sundays guest Jarvis Cocker about Pulp's classic album Different Class Colleen "Cosmo" Murphy says her life was transformed the night she stepped foot in The Loft, the first underground dance party in New York City. “The Loft is the birthplace of the whole club movement,” she says. Colleen became a regular at the invite-only party and was soon asked by the founder, David Mancuso, to host alongside him. Fifteen years later, she lives in London with her husband and daughter and still hosts dance parties. “Thirteen years ago I decided to start a version of The Loft in London. I took out a business loan, bought a bunch of hi-fi and started a party called Lucky Cloud in Shoreditch.” She also set up the hugely popular collective listening sessions Classic Album Sundays. Every first Sunday of the month people gather to listen to an entire album. “People love it," Colleen says. "Their phones are turned off, no one is talking and everyone is immersed in the music.” She has just organised a listening session of Stevie Wonder’s Songs in the Key of Life and will be hosting a session of Billie Holiday’s swan song, Lady in Satin, on 2 <strong>October</strong> at Brilliant Corners on Kingsland Road. Colleen’s initiative to share her love of music has been wildly successful. Classic Album Sundays sessions are now held all over the world, from LA to Oslo to Tokyo. She has hosted listening experiences in Amsterdam, Toronto and New York City, with many special guests including Jarvis Cocker, Nile Rodgers and Lenny Kaye of The Patti Smith Group. The idea came from Colleen wanting to recreate the hours LOVEEAST OCTOBER <strong>2016</strong> 7
