Heartland

It's true! Deep in the music archives are copies of FALAA, Floodland and Vision Thing with the following write-up;

"1987-2006, The Sisters Of Mercy who formed in Leeds in 1980. The name is taken from a Lenoard Cohen song."

I'd insert a photo but just can't sem to be able to do it. Still

I'll gladly forward on to Someone That Can.

[edit by qb:]the aforementioned photos is now in the image gallery

email it to me - i'll add it to the gallery

Leeds has a museum?!

Apparently nothing happened between 1980 & 1987. Sounds familiar.

It's the "2006" that worries me

Yes, Leeds has a museum. It opened a couple of months ago more-or-less opposite Millenium Square, featuring none other than the skeleton of the Armley Hippo

tried to visit the meuseum a couple of years ago (above the library the previuos time i went) and discovered it had shut down, i assume it has moved now?

i wonder if the big tiger is still there (my daughter used to go very week when she was small....26 now)

Tiger, panda, polar bear, jaguar, birds etc. and the skeleton of a huge elk - all sorts. We took the young 'un and she loved it - I'd recommend (if nowt else, it's free).

You'd think I work for Leeds City Council at this rate...

You've sold it to me anyway.

Where's this picture then?

Have they got 's hair in there too?

Nice. Don't know about the old relic on the right though.

Easy, now.

Shame Moyles has crept into the picture

I hadn't noticed that bloated oxygen thief.

They should stick Leeds United in. Knocked out of the FA by a postman. Craig must have drowned a few after that in sorrow.

Now that you mention it:
Implying the rate of updates the Leeds based homepage of the Sisters receives is due to local habits, that could have been a news board perhaps?

How can they afford to feed them all?

I'm pretty sure I dated her in the early 90's...

...I take it you pay Council Tax in Leeds, then?

And thanks for all the Leeds United jokes.

Perhaps Leed Museum should commission an oral history on the Leeds music scene in the 80s, before all the old goths die!

nice avi!
