The Good Mr Eldritch

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.

I was speaking to a guy last week who did the PA for The Sisters on the 1985 tour (though he says it might have been earlier...)

He said Andy was such a nice guy that as a thankyou for the tour he took 5 of them to that years European Cup Final, with all expenses paid for by the good man himself.

How sweet.

He also said he hasn't seen :von: for years as he's turned into a hermit.

How sweet.


Any other stories about Von having a heart out there???

Never Forget:

The horrific scenes at the Heysel stadium unfurled shortly before the European Cup final when Liverpool fans charged towards Juventus supporters, causing a dividing wall to collapse and crushing fans to death. The final death toll was 39 - most of the victims were Italians.

Never Forget:

Bradford, Hillsborough......

Tragedies indeed, and if this were the final the Von took his crew to, I feel sorry for anyone who was witness to such atrocious behaviour and such a needless waste of life.

You call it "the bad old days", any footie fan who visits Hillsborough/Bradford etc STILL remembers, I know we lay a wreathe each year, whether we play em or not.

Never Forget.

By saying "a reminder of how bad things were" I express my hope that this will never happen again... and yes it should be remembered.
