Right this is my Sisters Of Murphy story. back in the 90s somebody told me that The Sisters Of Mercy were playing this tiny little club in Leicester. i knew instantly it was bollocks because the girls were touring the 91 leg of the Tour Thing and were NOT playing venues smaller than arena size. a quick check proved this right (obviously) but there was a band on at the shed called the Sisters of Murphy. i expected a dubliners type band probably so didnt go. years later when i discovered the Smurphs -Ginger Paddys band- the muddle in my brain caused by 15 years of taking drugs for a living made me think "s**t! that band all those years ago wasnt some bog-trotting old persons band it was in fact the ONLY acceptable TSOM tribute act*.

long story short -no one made you read this- one day it dawned on me that the Smurphs werent going then . a quick google came up with surprise surprise a bogtrotting folk band.***


*marching men were unacceptable eventhough they are my friends so i just didnt listen to them, same as all the other unacceptable ones**

**if you are in a sistres of mercy tribute band that isnt the Smurphs then i am talking about you.

*** me clling the irish bogtrotters is racist but as i am half irish i am allowed to call them bogtrotters. so can you if you want - tell them i said you could.

that doesnt surprise me as Atlantic is silver & owned by WEA -its elektras sister label i think.
With hindsight WEA/Time Warner seem to own -or has previously owned- every record company imaginable so i imagine its labels are complete across the spectrum (with the exception of Merciful Release.! There as here -on WhizzWorld- EVERYTHING of value is Black!!!!!!
Green is only used for traffic lights, snooker tables, lawns and syphilis.
