Microdisney | The Clock Comes Down the Stairs | IMRO/NCH Trailblazer Award 2018

[@mikeowen1615]

So glad they got this recognition, and a chance to play again to audiences happy to see them back. The BBC doc was a good study of a great band who never quite made it. Back in the day I payed “The Clock..” to death, but it felt like a secret world. If I tried playing it to someone else, they’d invariably just look blankly back and say “what is this?….” Their loss.

[@fatClyde]

Completely unique talent. The Fatima Mansions were scary good ! A sad loss indeed.

[@colmandungan8391]

RIP Cathal. A true giant.

[@saltyswift8028]

Miss him so so much....definition of a genius and a super caring human....RIP

[@prehensiledale1215]

Gorgeous, and a worthy testament to Cathal Coughlan and Microdisney. The music lives on.

[@MarkUnderwood-g3k]

Just feel so grateful to have seen them at The Barbican back in 2018 - and the Mansions about a half dozen times too. But CC's loss is still such a visceral one.

[@howardtyler7]

God love them! A truly stunning unique band who I worked with many times!

[@peterkadelbach7010]

Fantastic. Cathal’s voice is spot on. Loved this music when it came out. Still sounds great.

[@oolongoolong789]

Microdisney were such an inspiring band. RIP Cathal Coughlan.

[@stuartwhomsley]

Why did this band not become huge is a question. Great singer, great words, beautifull melodies.

[@tricoloretalbot4684]

Have become absolutely addicted to this song, beautiful poetry, beautiful insight, beautiful prescience Cathal Coughlan at his best unstoppable and a fantastic musical setting from Sean O'Hagan and the other Microdisney musicians

[@TrenchcoatAlexander]

Yes, it does have that effect. There are a few others as well. Loftholdingswood being one.

[@colgoneclimbing1]

Still not over Cathal's death. RIP

[@KarlHamilton]

Same :(

[@regfox2000]

Superb band...i just re bought 'down the stairs' after 30 years 🤪👍

[@notlob23]

RIP Cathal. A nod to Morrissey / Smith's video within the lyrics of this beautiful song ...hey, I can take it !My lad was 1 when I first saw your video for Town to Town, he's now nearly 38. Thanks for the music.x

[@KRAZEEIZATION]

Great bloody band! Totally underrated!

[@notlob23]

Remember watching Town to Town...now 35 years later, this video. How time flies...

[@baragentledragon]

Absolutely originality in its epitome,and genius arrangements and lyrics,love you guys since i lived in Hamburg 1983

[@kevinlydon5064]

They make it look so easy . RIP Cathal

[@Gerry0866]

Awesome. Probably my favourite Microdisney song. Still resonant today.

[@notlob23]

Just watched the video for Town to Town (circa 1986). My god how subdued we become with age. Still a stunning performance .

[@ClaudineyDSA]

It's a pleasure to see you guys active, I love your songs! 😍👍

[@23blueplane]

How good does this sound...see you at the Barbican chaps

[@soundpaintsabbe]

I love this band so much. They should have been bigger than U2

[@bastiandelamotte1967]

Une musique sauvagement raffinée , un must ! trop mal connu ici en France !

[@alang.411]

Can't agree more, how good does this sound. Amazing. Still sounds like the original. Solid gold.

[@sanchopanzam8]

Imagine these guys together again!...Sigh...

[@aishaholm4570]

love the sound the feeling the music gives , a rhythm that goes with the body,, like a quiet sea Aisha Copenhagen

[@notlob23]

Hard to imagine that these guys are the same ones on the Town to Town video..pros through n through!

[@oliveroneill1388]

Fantastic song writer

[@notlob23]

What a pleasure to see talent many years on. So relaxed and natural..

[@SHAYDJ08]

wow brilliant ..would love to see these guys perform live

[@Barry101er]

Any more of this? So great.

[@notlob23]

So relaxing to watch..so professional and meaningful. .

[@notlob23]

Listening Jan 2020..an epitaph to times gome by...beautiful..

[@seangrogan3622]

fantastic!

[@notlob23]

Never seen this band but if they're as good as they are here live... I can't wait til they play live again!

[@notlob23]

Still as casual now as they were in the Town to Town video. Pure professionalism ..

[@notlob23]

A bunch of old timers with more talent in their little finger than any of the ' musicians' today.

[@mrbazzabee4013]

SPOT ON,mate.

[@beandipcartography]

R.I.P. Cathal Coughlan.

[@notlob23]

Gorgeous..

[@notlob23]

Fabulous...still

[@lucasgraeff5391]

This is so nice

[@notlob23]

Please play Manchester!!

[@TheHazelBowden]

I concur.

[@COLDMKULTRA]

Sean O'Hagan .. and Cathal Coughlan ... Jesus Christ Almighty ... SUBLIME !

[@hervedumont6226]

Cathal is a genius

[@Barry101er]

RIP Cathal

[@jonbilbao2207]

A hidden gem, this album. Some kind of beautiful melancholy paints this songs. I also love their previous "Everybody´s fantastic" album. Unfortunately their last two albums for Virgin were a letdown to me, the magic was gone, though three magnificent singles like "Singer´s Hampstead Home", "Angels" and "Town to town".- Long live to Cathal and Sean

[@studamanduncan9728]

Money for trams. My predictor predicted" trams", how weird is that.

[@OrkneyBhoy]

F U * KIN ACE

[@wmperry2790]

Cathal's looking a lot like robocop- which is not expected. Its hard to not try and read something into it- as though he's doing it on purpose as a genius literary device. Imagine if that were true! 4-D PopCulture Chess. AND O'hagen is playing a Squire!

[@Erectmygreenhouse]

JB - you look like a lumberjack!

[@mantra3000]

The drummer is steadily slowing down the tempo or it's just that I have the flu and fever makes me delusional ?

[@HippoYnYrEira]

Hi hat not as wot u call it....um, Pudsey shuffley as would be desired... But that's them in a nutshell Uncompromising til the end Trivial in retrospect "Lockdown London" -*headbutts pebbledash...

[@regfox2000]

Superb band...i just re bought 'down the stairs' after 30 years 🤪👍

R.I.P. Cathal Coughlan.
