Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

A similar thing happened to us at our gig in Manchester last year IIRC.

All I remember was some pissed-up Mancunian townie danced in front of the stage and then during the last song, proceeded to "play" the piano that happened to be there!
I think Ed or Rob might remember a few more details.

I seem to remember something similar at Sid's last Smurphs gig in Crewe.
And you know that she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there.

.... If you're going to get on a stage and ask for people's attention you have to at least present something decent and worthwhile!
.... there is no semblance of rock 'n roll around here!
