Sad Café was formed in Manchester in the late
70's- With the original line-up of Paul Young (vocalist), Ian Wilson and
Ashley Mulford on guitar, bassist John Stimpson Vic Emerson (keyboards) and
Tony Creswell on the drums.
Their first album 'Fanx Ta Ra' did not achieve
the great success they had hoped for. However this did not apply for the
second album, titled 'Misplaced Ideals' that achieved international success.
This second album was with a new drummer, David
Irving who came in to replace Creswell. Then in 1979 came further success
with the single 'Every Day Hurts' going straight in to the charts at number
three- along with 'My Oh My' and 'Strange Little Girl' also both entering
the UK Top 40.
The next album release was the self-titled 'Sad Café' which was a slight
disappointment in relation to their recent success- and did not do as well
as they would have liked. A new bass played and two more albums followed-
but unfortunately the band couldn't get the sales they needed.
The band most recent release (in 2000) coincided with the passing of Paul
Young, which was a repackage of the 1985 album 'Politics Of Existing' and
the 1989 album 'Whatever It Takes', the other remaining members of Sad Café
performed a tribute concert to Paul after his death.
