At home on stage and in the studio, seven-piece Sad Café followed 10CC out of Manchester and into the charts. This hour-long TV showcase from the Rockstage series, filmed by Central Television in 1980, majors on the hit album ‘Facades’, and includes the hits ‘Strange Little Girl’, ‘Everyday Hurts’ and ‘My Oh My’.

They were fronted by singer Paul Young who later found success with Genesis spinoff group Mike & the Mechanics and, sadly, died in 2000. Paul’s wife Pat Young, drummer Dave Irving and guitarist Ashley Mulford have supplied their memories of a night that caught Sad Café at the peak of their performing powers. They were arguably a band out of time in the new-wave era, but their musicianship and showmanship has passed the test of time.
