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.

this @Gothicbiff ?
the neon is spectacular!
I'm so mad at myself for not buying one of those European tour shirts there was too much crowd before the concert so I thought I'd buy one later but then I was drunk and forgot, so stupid...I hope they'll be available online at some point

You're welcome I hope you'll get one, they look amazing
All being well any merch remaining from the tour will make its way onto the shopify pretty soon. Another run of lovely head-warming beanie hats wouldn't go amiss either, dearest merchandisers

So, in my experience the shop website is dreadful to use, I've tried android phone, kindle fire tablet and my work pc. It only ever shows one page, if you search " shirt" it says 17 results found, then only shows you 12. Search " Roundhouse " and get told 1 result but get shown none. I did search " patch" though and got shown the patch beanie hat, so maybe you could try that.

Cheers for that, nice bit of research to discover that! I gotta presume though that that is a consequence of the iffiness of the site upkeep, I take the main page of items as an exhaustive list of stuff for sale, I gotta presume that beanie listing is just an old listing that is in reality out of stock. Maybe not, because searching for 'beanie' produces two results but just shows the patch one. I don't fancy testing my presumption with an attempted financial transaction
Besides all that, I'd much prefer a 'sisters' or 'SISTERS' logo hat than the patch one. Maybe a cog-head patch, but not that 1984 one particularly. We'll see if anything else turns up, or how cold my head gets walking to work at 7am over the next few months
i'll say this for the quality of the Neon 23 tour shirts- its bloody good! Really thick cloth anyways, the longevity (sorry- listening to Moonchild) of the print will be born out in time I daresay.

As possibilities of getting a European shirt dwindles here, a resourceful person asks a friend - a fellow Maiden fan. He lives in Koln and says no problem. He's got a ticket, and has even decided to stay and watch the show. He's intrigued now. Up the Irons!

Always good to have a plan B, though there remains every chance the remainder of the tour-stock will make its way onto the shopify store, when they get round to it. They usually do sooner or later

That's good. The tour shirt I bought in Silver Spring back in May is already falling to pieces.

I appreciate the nice comments, "every chance" never leaves one feeling sure. Hell when I bought a shirt the last day of the US Tour there were really big sizes only left. I guess my job has trained me not to live on chances. I bought no other souvenirs. If they tour again, I should do shows in Germany. Then i can meet up with my friend. Thank goodness Germans like to try out their English on you because my German is awful.

They've added a 24 and a few more cities. I've convinced myself. Sigh, One day I must count how many Sisters shirts I actually have...
What? You mean it's fractionally different?!
Ker-ching!
Unfortunately I just noticed the Account Details & Order History section on Shopify which enabled me to easily total up how much I've spent there since August 2016. I was better off not knowing to be honest.
