Reading '91

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.

Does the size of someones nose reflect their ego?
To not know and to ask a question is a moment of embarrassment; to not know and not ask is a lifetime of shame.

Sounds like it. Apparently she was on a Phillip Boa album after touring with the Sisters.

Oooh, I didn't know that :eek: :oops:
Thanks for that info :notworthy:
Any other connections between these favourites of mine - i. e. Sisters and Boa-club :wink: :?:

Think that is the only one. Unless Bruhn was involved in something with Boa. But I don't think he is.

K.J. definitely weren't at Reading '91. They last played there in '86 AFAIK, but they were on the bill at Finsbury Park in '91 (with The Mi$$ion and New Model Army) and the Pheonix Festival in '94.

I still have the white "Reading 91" t-shirt from way back when. It was also my first "Sisters" gig - all I can say is WOW!

I no longer wear it as it is a little "tatty" and I still cant (or wont) part with it!

I do have the video (VHS) of this gig - does anyone know if a VCD is availble. Or is anyone here able (and willing) to produce such a thing - perhaps for a future weed?
