Leeds 1981

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.

We all know what Von was doing at Leeds University in 81 but can anyone shed any light on what Gary Marx was doing? Was he also at Leeds Uni? if so what subjects was he doing?

Ditto Ben Gunn? was he another Uni connection?

If I recall correctly Ben Gunn was still at school. (Sixth form of Leeds Grammar School... maybe?)

Von and Gary knew each other from clubbing rather than Uni. That doesn't mean that Gary wasn't there though.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Yeah that.

Gary is a local(ish) lad isn't he? Wakefield maybe?
