I'm thinking if it'd only been a short time before then the performance would have been similar to the two May'81 recordings, but if a long time before then they could have been very different.
And what about the lineup? If it was months earlier then maybe Eldritch on a real drumkit and Marx on vocals? That'd have been an interesting gig to witness!
Not sure to tell the truth. Claire was on keyboards from what I heard.
Also, re taylor's pics: Where in the Merrion Centre was Tiffany's?

I have heard that they very briefly had five members, in 1979. The info is from an insert from Red Rhino that came with a very few copies of Damage Done, probably made for press or radio stations.

My Pleasure.
I was never 100% sure of the facts myself, I didn't move to Leeds until after the F-club had long finished. I think it was HL member Francis* who filled me in on the F club's history. But it's nice to find online confirmation.
* where are you Frankie baby?

That one is addressed in a Gary Marx interview either done for Heartland and on these pages or in an interview around the time that 1995 and Nowhere got a "proper" release (the D-monic website?). He says something along the lines of there was "a band" but it was not "the band". Claire was involved for sure, can't recall the other names, but think there was a tongue in cheek remark about how every Leeds band was obliged to have somebody called John at time.

Just found this in my archives!
It comes from French magazine BEST issue 194 (September 1984).
I remember that the festival was also announced on France Inter radio (the other sponsor of the event) as featuring the Sisters in the lineup. DCD + TSOM + XMal D. on the same bill!!! Like a dream come true for me at the time.
I can't remember if the Sisters' cancelation was announced long before the gig or not though. I couldn't make it anyway because of school...
