Brussels-Paris as it seems!
Listenable, but I clearly would have preferred Hypernova. Well, another hour to order beer then

It'd be just plain rude not to do this one, wouldn't it?

i like trains are doing the european dates!
i'm not clear what that means for 'to the bones' though - they might still be doing leeds and/or london
more clarification when i know
Mon now Boss, you know we'll still be in the pub.....
Speaking of pubs-Obvious choice is the Dry Dock however a new(ish) pub is now open in Millenium Square. This is close to the venue and is a Lloyds pub so is bloody cheap. It also has a large outside area for smokers.
Ladies and Gentlemen (and Tim) I give you
The Cuthbert Brodrick

The Cuthbert Broderick is a Wetherspoons though.

A 3rd eye operation next week means I can't do anything (literally) till the first week of April.
This'll be the first Sisters gig I've not been int' pit. It'll be weird!

Bummer.
You'll just have to tap your foot while drinking hellish amounts of booze at the bar.

Aye (or eye even) its a bummer. Haven't been able to work since October either!
Tried the tapping foot at the bar during The Pogues at Leeds Academy. Its not fun! Drinking hellish amounts before, during & after however, most certainly is.

Tickets are now available direct from seetickets;
www.seetickets.com
However,should you want London tickets,search "Sisters of Mercy" whereas,if,like me,you're going to Leeds,it's "The Sisters of Mercy" you need to look for.
Anyway,ordered two this morning,now I need to sort out accomodation.

Just booked a twin room at the Radisson hotel,down the road from the venue,for £65.
Which is nice.

Whichever one lets you sit outside with yer pint gets my vote. As long as it's not in Brixton.

The Dry Dock is nice, but Walkabout is literally outside the venue. My vote says Walkabout, as people frommout of town will be able to find it as soon as they've found the venue.
Also, Dry Dock is packed on a weekday evening, whereas we'll (hopefully) be able to grab a seat at Walkabout, and it let's those of us that intend to queue up a little...early... pop in and say hello and pop out again now and again.
