The Story of Microdisney: The Clock Comes Down the Stairs

Synopsis
In 1980, two Cork outsiders, Cathal Coughlan and Sean OâHagan, met at a New Year's Eve party. Bonding over music, a friendship and songwriting partnership was ignited; the band they formed, Microdisney, was one of the best bands of the 1980s that youâve probably never heard. Mixing Seanâs stunning melodic arrangements with Cathalâs poetic, angry lyrics, they recorded three brilliant LPs, gained critical adulation and an obsessive cult following. But a hit single eluded them, as did radio play and LP sales. By 1988, frustrated by their lack of progress, the band crashed and burned, leaving a trail of acrimony and broken friendships.
