About Sacre Bleu
From HotPress:
Sacre Bleu were considered real contenders on the Irish scene in the late 1970s. They played a fiery brand of rhythm ’n’ blues, and were seen by many as logical heirs to the mantle of The Boomtown Rats, as the latter took international flight. They worked with some of the best operators in the business, with the late Dave Kavanagh – who later handled the affairs of Clannad and then Celtic Woman – in the managerial seat. They also had U2 manager Paul McGuinness as agent, before his main charges took off.
However, Sacre Bleu's early promise didn’t lead to the kind of major label deal that would have set them on the high road. The band split up – some would say prematurely – in 1980.
In addition to Courtney and Kennedy, the original line-up of Sacre Bleu featured Dick Doyle on guitar, Frankie Morgan on keyboards, and Albert Cowan on drums.
Sacre Bleu released the singles Broken Promises and Move It in 1978. Donal Lunny produced the latter.
Sacre Bleu's singer, AK Kennedy and bass player Pat Courtney died within a year of each other in 2022.
