After the sad passing of Colleen’s mentor David Mancuso Colleen has been asked to do numerous articles and radio spots so we have decided to collate them all in one place here.
Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy‘s four hour tribute to David Mancuso is now streaming on demand over at Worldwide FM.
“Colleen will share her memories, love and experiences with her Lucky Cloud Loft Party partners Tim Lawrence and Jeremy Gilbert. Over the course of 4 hours Colleen discusses David’s extraordinary childhood and how the party got started in terms of civil rights, as well as taking a closer look at David’s psychedelic side.”
