Leeds Goth All-dayer 12 Oct 1991

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Well as this got such an overwhelming response in the "watching" thread I thought I'd try in a thread of its own...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDaBOCCW67Q

I come in around 2:11 making a tit of myself with my back to the camera.

And then again around 2:40. I turn and look at the camera at 2:42.

I'm sure there must be one or two other Heartlanders on there, look and see if you can spot yourself.

Entertaining viewing if not quite up to Batley 1984 standard. Am glad no such evidence of my own nights out has appeared on YT. Very brave of you Mr Fiend to share this !

Wow there were some faces I recognised in there. I don't remember the event at all - I was a bit worried I would spot myself for a while.

The wife spotted some of the people on her course too.

Wow! Brave post Mark! :eek: :notworthy:

I think anyone over 40 will always remember their Thin White Duke days... 8)

Good stuff!!
I remember hanging out with former members of "The Ancestry" a few years after that all ended.
Pretty sure I recognised Dave Higgins and AJ Twist there too, and of course Mr Fiend.

Hi Paul! Must catch up again soon ;)

I recognised a few Manchester Faces (as well as Leeds ones, obv), but I'm cr@p at putting names to them...

i didn't go, but flicking through the vid brings back a few memories :lol:

@ mark: the guy sat facing you (on the floor) in the sisters wembley tee - also on the opening title sequence - that's craig isn't it? aka 'cabbage'? and the girl with long orange hair and her back to the camera - i've met her before I'm sure. she was mates with craig from saddleworth (along with craig's other chums mike and john, who i believe went cardiff uni, and i can't see in that vid). she might be called sarah? and possibly lived in middleton rather than saddleworth? such vagueness :urff:

1.35: i used to have a rosetta info service long sleeve 'hereafter' tee like that :lol:

1.59: the tall guy that walks past the camera and away - think that's zeff from redemption (another one from manchester)

4.20: chap with black hair and girl with orange hair sat in a corner chatting to themselves while the camera focusses on them - that's guy and jo from manchester. jo is sadly no longer with us (RIP). guy (fennel) is now married to my old friend alison, and they occasionally visit leeds to see my other chums john and julie. guy used to be in an industrial band called 'carbonise' with john's brother phil ( https://soundcloud.com/carbonize ) who appears in other parts of the vid

11.34: tall chinese girl with big back-combined hair is mae. i forget the name of the other girl she's whispering in the ear of, but they were both from manchester. also, when the camera pans out at 11:44 you can see the aforementioned phil just to her left, and the chap with the mohawk in front of him is called ian. bumped into him for the first time in years at the sisters in leamington spa a few years ago... ian had the biggest collection of christian death vinyl I'd ever seen :)

15.24: punky guy on the left - i forget what he's called but pretty sure he's been kicking around LS6 since the mid 80s, and still is. covered in tattoos these days. scary looking fella.

16.06: mae again

16.20: phil walking last mae

17:22: a few seconds of creaming jesus: a forest :notworthy: :lol:

blimey. thanks for posting that mark :D

Yeah that's Craig/Cabbage. I lost touch with him ages ago. :|

The girl with the long strawberry blonde (orange :lol:) hair, I think you're thinking of someone else. That's Helen, and she's from Leeds. She worked in "Id" aromatics in Leeds when I first met her (and was therefore known as "Helen Id"). Kerry and I are still good friends with her as it happens.

The other people you mention, yeah like I say there are a lot of old faces I recognise, but either can't remember (or never knew) the names to go with them.

It seems like in those days you could be great mates with someone and not even know their name :lol: Or maybe that's just me...

wish i knew what happened to my old leather from back in the Banshee days 8)

http://www.myheartland.co.uk/gallery/de ... ge_id=1479

Had that one done after my original leather with the Alice artwork on the main back panel and the Neph's logo from For Her Light 12" (e.g.: the bottom bit on here: http://991.com/NewGallery/Fields-Of-The ... 173872.jpg ) on the bottom panel was stolen at the banshee about 1990/early 91 :(

I've still got my leather with the painting I did* on the back. It's a little small for me these days but I'm making progress in that direction :lol:

* :von:, a still from Wake. The paint is a bit cracked but doubtless I could touch it up.

That's Scum, he's been kicking around LS6 since back when I was in the 80s. Possibly scary looking but actually very, very gentle and sweet.
I am a Leeds United fan because I was very naughty in a previous life.
