The Sisters on 6Music Dream Ticket again

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.

I've never looked at 6Music before, and it looks OK.

Listening online isn't quite the thing though - I may well have to investigate one of those DAB radio thangs :?

Thanks for the pointer :notworthy:

:) Does anyone know if this will be a session or a live set? I can't recall the Sisters ever having a gig broadcast on BBC radio (crud knows the m*****n did often enough!), so I suppose it'll be a Peel/Jensen session.
The last few sessions I've tried to catch (Theatre of Hate, Danse Society, etc) have only had three of the four songs aired :( - so I wonder if they'll be nice and give the Sisters the full treatment?!
Is this the place I used to know as Fatherland?

if its anything like last time it will be one of the old janice long, john peel or kid jensen sessions from 83/84. and yeah, it will probably just be 3 or 4 songs.

It'll be EXACTLY the same as last time. Remember this is the BBC we're talking about. :D

The link to that 6Music page is currently showing a header text:

"Monday 20 June

Stoosh by Skunk Anansie is our Featured Album and we have a 1982 John Peel session from Sisters of Mercy. Utah Saints provide our Headline Set from Cardiff in 2000".

Cheers

they had a few good singles IMHO- Great Things, Dark Therapy, etc - I only noticed em cos they pinched the guitarist from Curve, who happen to be a bloody marvellous band, (although why Garbage got all that fame for doing pretty mush the same thing 5 years later I'll never know).

Huh! I went to see Echobelly a couple of times, and was very fond of an Echobelly t-shirt I used to sport. In the end, though, I decided that I liked the t-shirt more than the band. Once, I went to see them in Amsterdam and climbed up on the stage afterwards to get the setlist. A random roadie saw me in my swanky t-shirt and, assuming I was a little more official than was in fact the case, handed me the keys to backstage and asked if I could lock up afterwards. Woohoo!

Hey, was there any particular version we haven't heard yet or which we hadn't heard in such a good quality before?
If so, did anyone record it?
(I'm talking about Sisters songs, particularly about hem :) )

Thank you in advance! :notworthy:

Thanks :notworthy:
I will check it.
Am I right that the answer (to the question "was there anything new?") is "NO"?

All the sessions already exist in good quality.

BBC digital radio only broadcasts in a bitrate of 128kbps so anyone who wants improved quality versions is looking in the wrong place.
