Microdisney

Mark and Stuart chat to Cathal Coughlan and Sean O'Hagan of Irish rock band Microdisney.

Cathal Coughlan and Sean O'Hagan of Irish rock band Microdisney are Mark and Stuart's guests today. Formed in Cork in 1980, the band released their debut album 'Everybody is Fantastic' in 1984 and counted DJ John Peel among their fans. After the break-up of Microdisney in 1988, Sean went on to work with Stereolab and formed his own band, The High Llamas. Ahead of a one-off exclusive UK performance of Microdisney's album 'The Clock Comes Down The Stairs' next month, Cathal and Sean join Mark and Stuart to discuss the band's work and legacy.

As well as this, there's the never-ending feature The Chain - which links together one record to another using YOUR suggestions - and Teatime Themetime, when you pit your musical wits to be first past that Chocolate Bourbon post and gain glory round the office biscuit barrel. AND if that weren't enough - we bring you the latest updates in the world of rock and pop in today's Music News.
