March Violets Newsflash

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.

So my ticket came on Monday. My best mate Collin and I will be heading down, along with hopefully Miss Posh Burd fae Bearsden. Our plan is to get down around 5pm, then depart at 9am the next morning.

Wonder whether we could stow away with Faderhead, as he's playing in Glasgow the following night...

Either way, anyone I've not met, I'll be wearing a black bandana with a smiley face badge, and probably dancing my non-existent tits off. Come say hello. :3

Ticket web appear to have tickets priced at fifteen and six-fifty, as evidenced here. What's the crack, Heartlanders?

And who's coming back to Leeds? I can offer petrol costs and scintillating conversation...

The gig and after party are both in Islington, so the easiest place to meet up will be The Angel pub just opposite the tube station.

Its just a 'spoons but its the easiest to find.
Nationalise the f**king lot.

£4.50 is for the feeling gloomy club night. You don't want that one :wink:

Besides, we'll all be in Slimelight.

Had a looksee and The York seems a better bet, it's not a 'Spoons, there is seating outside for the smoking fraternity,(me) it's 2 minutes from the O2, it's a pub not a bar and it's still not a 'Spoons

No, but I am a big fan of Spoonerisms, which is a shame considering my name ends up as Willy Bilkinson

The York is quite nice from what I remember, I used to semi-regularly drink in there in the late 90s before going on to Slimelight.

So, ladies and gents, after much beating around the bush on facebook I finally found the way to this spot again, and can proudly confirm that Eggi and I will be in London, too. Arriving on friday, leaving again on sunday. Anything good on on friday night? Electric Ballroom still exists, and if so what are they offering on a friday night?

See you all next saturday, hopefully... :-)

PS! Wasn't Debbie coming, too?
You can't fix stupid.
