Know the whereabouts of any ex-Sisters members or hangers-on? Got any amusing anecdotes about members of the band, past or present? Post 'em here...

Now she´s not doing so much right now, her last collaboration was in the year 2003 helping whit her voice to one group called "Leeslem" in theyr album "Times" and the last new that I saw was:

Maggie on German TV tonight (Sep 17)

i know most people don't think much of Maggie, but i like her unique voice quite a lot and her music isn't anywhere close to the worst, at least it has a touch of originality in it, unlike most other (more popular?) female "artists".

And actually i like the song Moonlight Shadow.

And agree that her collaboration in VT was superb.

just my personal opinion.
there are things I like and things I don't like so much. she may be very professional (which she obviously is), her voice could be good etc but I prefer those songs, particularly 'Something Fast' without her.
I'm not only a Sisters fan, I'm a fan of almost every single Sisters song or sound :oops:
but I'm not a fan of MR's backing vocals in the last mentioned song.
it's just my point of view, my hedonistic statement, not The Truth.

Moonlight Shadow is a Mike Oldfield tune from after his 'three good albums' period.
He then flipped his wig, got into exegesis and blanded out.
The revists to Tubular Bells have been sonic hell!

IMHO there was nothing bad about Ofra Haza (RIP :notworthy: )
Although I like the '83 version even more.

Ofra's support was not too bad in my opinion but I prefer the Sisters without female support.

Am I imagining things, or wasn't there a rumour that sometime around '87 or '88 that Von was planning a collaboration with Samantha Fox?

I'm sure I once read this somewhere... (possibly whilst asleep!)

There was indeed a rumour, although it was much more recent than that. The "news" even made it onto UK Channel 4 teletext! It turns out Andreas Bruhn had been doing some studio work for Sam Fox (apparently), which is how the Sisters connection came about.

Andreas worked on (co-wrote) the track Deeper on Samantha Fox's 21st Century Fox. I have no idea if the Sisters connection comes from that, though.
