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.

Weather report :
Sunny spells with a bracing breeze.
Looks like it could have been a bit draughty for Mark..

Being a bit of a bore it's interesting to see how basic festival stage construction has come on in 23 years.....
actually bearing in mind it's 23 years ago perhaps it isn't....
BUT.......on the other hand ...seems that they still can't build a nightclub that won't become an inferno in 10 secs....
Glad I haven't been to Gatecrasher for a while.....

Thanks the photos are great, it is good to see them at a period when the Sisters were a real band and not a one-man project.

Bollocks. Flickr has a maximum picture size of 1024 pixels in any one direction.
Anyway, slightly bigger than here:

I was most amused by Lurch's dye-job.

awesome! Great to see a few pics of the Sisters' roots (before FALAA)!
I guess this is 1984 as Andrew's hair matches

Excellent!!
The first Sisters bootleg I ever got was from this gig.
Was this the only time they played outdoors during daylight hours?

Odd? I have some 2k by 4k up there without any grief?
Are you "Pro" on there or using a freebie account?

There's been a few more recently, hasn't there?
Either way, I'm pretty sure this was the first time.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
