York Rock Festival 1984

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.

Can any Heatlanders direct me to any info on the York Rock Festival.

Due to my fading memory (it was a while ago!) I can remember the Sisters, Chameleons and Bunnymen sets distinctly, and bought the b-leg video shortly after...
...but know nothing of any other fans views of the gig.
Has this been covered on a previous thread?

Were any other Hearlanders there.. :?:

There's some flyers and other stuff from that gig here.

I moved to York 12 years too late so didn't see the gig in question. I did manage to catch the 20th anniverary gig at Vanburgh College though. 8)

Almost but not quite. It poured with rain didn't it?
And you know that she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there.

There's video footage of the Sisters' set at York Festival 1984 knocking about somewhere. :innocent:

Great day.
