We are ‘chuffed to bits’ with regards to our collaboration with the John Peel Archive, the record library of one of the world’s most significant radio DJs (or let’s just say it properly: ‘the BEST EVER radio DJ!’).
The session will be hosted at the John Peel Centre for Creative Arts in Stowmarket, just a few miles from Peel Acres where John Peel broadcast his weekly BBC Radio 1 programme. The session will revolve around an artist and an album which John Peel supported and ‘broke’ on his radio show. On Saturday, the 6th June we will feature Pulp ‘Different Class’ (celebrating its 20th anniversary this year!) with our special guest Jarvis Cocker.
CAS founder Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy will discuss Peel and Pulp in a live interview with Jarvis. This will be followed by an uninterrupted vinyl replay of John’s personal copy of ‘Different Class’ – courtesy of the John Peel Archive – on an exquisite valve Audio Note UK audiophile hi-fi so that listeners will hear the album in a way they never have before. Needless to say, Mr. Peel kept his records in pristine condition and take it from us that his ‘filing system’ is a record collector’s dream.
The evening will close with a Q&A where attendees will have the opportunity to ask Jarvis their own questions. This event promises to be an immersive experience for the dedicated Peel and Pulp fan and will be an evening to remember.
