The Sisters Of Murphy - THE END IS NIGH.......

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.

Hello.

Towards the end of July it will have been 12 years since we played our first gig. I love this band, its only what it is and it never would have been more, but its been very good to me over the years and i will be sad to see it end.

The end though is now in sight and as soon as ive made the arrangements ill pop the final gig date on here, it will most likely be in Leeds and in July. Currently we have nothing else booked, but are open to offers.

So if it suits you please avoid double booking July! I can promise you it will be a very long set indeed.

Ill add any other dates that arise to this thread.

Cheers,
Paddy

Do I have to prepare your cubed ham, stop people talking to you and locate enough beer to drown a whale for the boys in the band again?

Might I suggest that a HL do around that time seems appropriate? ;)
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
