I think it's safe to assume he won't be there mate.

Ahh well.
Maybe one day he'll be back...

My tickets,purchased t'other week from seetickets,arrived today.Hurrah!

I've seen the Sisters live, but I haven't seen them in Leeds before. Does anyone recommend anywhere significant to the Sisters that I could visit while in Leeds? Thank you.

PILGRIMAGE!

Well, outside my best friends halls is a rather large headstone/monument that the band posed on for group photo (Wayne, Marx, Adams, Eldo era). Adds to the likelyhood that maybe one or more of them was living in those halls

One might add The Phono to the list of potential holy sites: Nightclub and hangout of the girls - sadly it no longer exists. DJ Phono Paul has taken the spirit of La Phonographique with him to The Subculture, which still runs the Sheepish nights which, IIRC originated in the Phono.

The site of greatest Sisters significance? Wherever the Heartland meetup is!

Heh I know where you mean, St George's Field behind the Henry Kelly -- erm I mean Henry Price -- building.

Well renowned for its crop of psilocybin mushrooms...

We had a thread of "significant Sisters places in Leeds" a while back didn't we?

Think that "significant Leeds places" thingy was something to do with Francis wasn't it around the Smoke & Mirrors tour? Can't remember exactly.

Not got my tickets yet anyway, just rang the venue to make sure they still had plenty & "We've still actually got quite a lot of tickets for sale" was the answer.

Might even buy on the door!

yep, francis took a few people on a bit of a sightseeing walk around town

also, there's these maps of burley park which show where all the sisters and affiliated crew used to live:

One of my digs when at Leeds Poly had a sofa that used to belong to Mel B's mum

Well I've grabbed a pair of tix ... first one since Smoke and Mirrors. Be intrigued to see what they've done with the T&C as well...

Not sure who's getting the second ticket mind :-$

Keith, Cat and I may make it down for a few beers

Bah. At least if you come to the gig we carry on the drinking Dave.
Looking forward to seeing you all the same.

it will be in the club space underneath the concert hall, will start when the gig ends (approx 11pm) and run until 2am

it will be free entry for all you happy little gig go-ers

and this is my personal favourite bit of it: phono paul and myself have been asked to dj it



i guess those of us not going to laahndan had all better book the thursday off work, huh?

*bump*

just to let the newcomers to this particular party know...

Seconded, and might I add - whey-hey!

Just make sure that Cat has a spare lighter with her.

Try the warehouse somers street where a few of the early gigs where and where the band also frequented (dont let people tell you they only went out at the phono), I often had beers with Craig and gary there 83 ish. The faversham was another place frequented by the band

Hi, I'm coming all the way from New Zealand for both the UK dates. Never seen them live as they've never been down my neck of the woods but fulfilling a 25 year dream. Will see you all there I guess not to mention the before and after parties.

Cheers,

Marty
