Classic Album Sundays

Up on the sixth floor classic albums are being listened to in their entirety. Albums such as Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon' and Billy Fury's 'Sound of Fury' have already been completely played.
Andrew Pirie from Loud + Clear spoke to us about the project. 







Andrew told us that he got into the project through radio broadcaster Colleen Murphy. "The project was created as a sort of strike against download culture".


"When people use their iPods, they skip from one song to another", Andrew said. "Lots of songs are never listened to."


There is a sense of great admiration for the record that is playing. As Billy Fury's lyrics reverberated around the room, and people bopped along at the front, you could tell everyone was delighted to be there, listening to something they perhaps never would have have thought about listening to on their own.


"People are really enjoying themselves, and it's bringing people of all ages together", Andrew told me.
