Sisters living-room competition gig- does anyone know more?

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Round 1996 I read in the reptile house magazine that someone can win a
sisters live gig in his living room. Does anyone know, where it took place, the setlist, and if theres a bootleg? Thx...

There was one "living room winner"

IIRC the prize was offered for a second time but it never happened.

I don't know whether there's a boot of the 92 living room gig.

It took place, I think I've seen photos somewhere (UtR?)

It's featured in UTR in the photo gallery Here
Loki was never worshiped as the other Gods,
Which is quite understandable.

The following year's competion was to sing backing vocals on the next Sisters album.
The winner was obviously one of life's losers.....
