Candelmaesse?

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.

Steemson was the SISTERS manager, I have also seen him described as MR manager, James Ray Manager and office manager, I am guessing he started working with them early 84 when they signed to WEA as the major label would have required a more business orientated person. (Although not sure Steemson fitted that bill as I have read that James Ray thought him inept!) I believe he left the employment of MR / Sisters sometime around 1991/92 and had heard rumours of money being wasted on frivolous items such as leather bound tour itineraries and other extravagances although I don't know what those were! I don't think he was tour manager as I have never seen him named on the tour itineraries I have seen. He is now indeed the CEO of Total Rock Radio.
... :D ... At least one person to remember his name at all ...

Frivolous items like leather bound VT CDs and belt-buckles? ... :lol: ;D ...

I think his dismissal was also mentioned in UTR (don't ask me what issue) without giving much detail, though ... :wink: ...
