Christabel Children

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.

This seemed like as good a place as any to try and gain some more info on this band. As far as I know they only put out one 12". Anyone know the title? Or if they did more stuff.

I just remember the song being fantastic in a trad goff kind of way.....

If anyone can enlighten me further........ :notworthy:

I saw the "Christabel Children" on the same bill as "Rosetta Stone" and the "Screaming Marionettes" years ago, they had a really tall guy and a wee blonde girl on vocals, I remember they went on about "Environmental issues" a lot, well it was about '89 :roll: , sorry, but I don't know about any records they released, it was about the first and last time I heard of them.

Definitely one 12" single, as i pickd up a copy many years ago from goth uber shop Ressurection Records in Camden. Supported Christian Death way back i believe. Record is in storage at the moment. i'll try and dig it out for title & tracklisting.

Hey, my Mum is the 'wee blonde girl'. Her name is Anna Dupres, if you were wondering. The band split up a long time ago, but now she has her own band called Gigi Le Jarre.
As for the 'really tall guy', we don't know him anymore, but I think he lives in America and is quite rich.
