Timeline

1959

Susan Fassbender (born Susan Kathryn Whincup, later Baggio, 30 April 1959 – 2 May 1991) was an English singer, songwriter and musician best remembered for the single "Twilight Café", which reached No. 21 in the UK Singles Chart in February 1981.

Born in Wibsey, Bradford, West Yorkshire, England, Fassbender (which was her mother's maiden name) began studying classical piano, clarinet and timpani (later also playing synthesizer) at age 13.

Eventually she met guitarist Kay Russell, who would become her songwriting partner throughout her career.

Both women wrote lyrics and melodies together.

Prior to their collaboration, Russell was with poet Nick Toczek in a Bradford-based new wave outfit called Ulterior Motives.

1980

After impressing their future manager Alan Brown at a musical instrument shop, Fassbender and Russell signed to independent record label Criminal Records and wrote "Twilight Café", which was released in 1980.

1981

Two appearances on BBC Television's Top of the Pops followed in January 1981, with a band also consisting of drummer Gary Walsh and bassist Mike Close.

By this point, ownership of the single had passed from Criminal to CBS Records.

In March 1981, Fassbender appeared on German television programme, Disco.

Two other singles followed soon after, namely "Stay" and "Merry-Go-Round".

"Stay", the second single, was promoted by an appearance on Cheggers Plays Pop, a children's programme.

Both tracks were collaborations between Fassbender and Russell.

1982

In January 1982, Fassbender and Russell appeared on another British TV show, Multi-Coloured Swap Shop, to promote "Merry-Go-Round".

After release of the latter singles, Susan Fassbender and Kay Russell both retired temporarily from the music industry, to marry and for Fassbender to raise three daughters.

1983

She was married in 1983, when her name became Susan Baggio.

Further songs were written, separately and together, by both women, but no further interest was shown by the industry in releasing the new material.

1991

Susan Fassbender died by suicide in May 1991, at the age of 32.

"Twilight Café" was released on Criminal Records and later CBS in both the UK and Germany, and on Lark Records in Belgium and the Netherlands, also later on CBS.

The latter two singles reverted to Criminal and Lark.

"Twilight Café" was also available as a 12" maxi single in Germany. All tracks were written by Fassbender and Russell.

2012

A new album of unreleased Fassbender and Russell demos entitled Twilight Café (The Demo Collection 1981–1985) was released through Platform Records on iTunes and Amazon on 30 April 2012.

In 2012, Platform Records released Twilight Café (The Demo Collection 1981–1985), a 20 track album of previously unavailable recordings from Susan Fassbender and Kay Russell.

The collection included the original demo version of the duo's hit single, as well as other songs familiar to Fassbender/Russell fans, including several of those featured on the second and final of their CBS 7" singles. The release contained 70 minutes of music, remastered from cassette tapes preserved by Kay Russell.

2016

A follow-up collection entitled Building A Dream (The Demo Collection Volume 2) containing 17 further recordings, was released on 17 June 2016, along with a separate 10 track release entitled Live in Concert (1981).
