The Sisters Of Murphy live for the last time - Fri Sept 4th

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.

gutted to announce that i'm unable to attend after all. :evil: i'm having my son that weekend, as he has been on holiday with his mum and then his grandma so i've not been able to see him since his birthday on aug 10. i'm afraid that even seeing the-next-best-thing (with added Mya, whom the sisters never had) has to come second to my little boy.

so all the best to paddyand the crew, and ahem:

Hi,

Looks like there may well be some "Final Floorshow" T-Shirts knocking about for sale on the night courtesy of some peeps in the band with far more get up and go than me. If you cant make the gig probably as well to let us know and if there is any left ill ask them to send you one for a modest fee.

Roll on the 4th..... lets just get this done and fall into the loving arms of the eight legged groove machine and the mistress of funk.

Goff didnt end that well,

The gig?

Unbelievable. Exactly what 1985 must've felt like. But nice & heavier.
Bass was pulsating. Guitars were heavy but melodic when required. It was loud. It was amazing. It was hypnotic.

To top it off, Chris Catalyst was there & he even remebered my name. :notworthy: :D

More to follow when sober,

Purp out. x

Just got back to civilisation :lol: (60 mins Subculture - End of the M62 :eek: ) after another excellent gig from Paddy & co.

Time to go to bed as my heads banging so it must have been a good night.


There "might" have been a DVD done :innocent: but it might have been my imagination me standing on a stool for nearly 2 1/2 hours with a camcorder in my hand.... :lol:
