Brendan Casey 🇮🇪🥦🚴🇪🇺While retro #totp is all very good, if you're a #Microdisney fan, you're on for a treat at 10 on #BBC4. If you don't know them, check out the documentary. They should have been bigger but I'm kind of glad they weren't. So many good tunes. #AndTheClockComesDownTheStairs
Another of my favourite bands, and Irish, too! (RIP) Cathal Coughlan's often visceral lyrics and delivery were a direct opposite to the "Can You Dig It" crowd. Great band. It's on from tomorrow. #Microdisney #IrishMusic #CathalCoughlan #SeanOHagan #IrishBands #TownToTown

Flippin' 'eck, Tucker!Friday Night Music (UK).
This might appeal more to the #6Music crowd than the Top of the Pops crowd.
This Friday (i.e. tonight!), BBC Four, 10pm. "The Story of Microdisney: The Clock Comes Down the Stairs".
"To their fans, Microdisney were one of the greatest bands of all time. But most people have never heard of them. This is the story of a huge talent that went largely unrecognised."
I had the immense pleasure and privilege of a few years working with Cathal long after he gave up the professional music business, before his very untimely death. He was not only a hugely talented musician but a very intelligent and kind man.
If you have any interest in music at all, do watch this or catch-up later on iPlayer. I'm expecting it will be a fantastic programme.
Frau BlücherMusic choice for the evening: #Microdisney 82-84: We Hate You South African Bastards! A collection of early recordings from these Irish legends, re-released on (dead silent!) glass clear vinyl, and still available on Bandcamp: https://microdisney.bandcamp.com/album/we-hate-you-south-african-bastards
Just in case someone’s still looking for decent music on this #BandcampFriday 😇
