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.
Just wanted to say a massive thank you to the generous and seemingly anonymous contributor who within the last few days has uploaded some photos onto the wiki for some of the Spring 83 dates :

Decade-long research has now revealed that all recorded 31.03.83 audio material in circulation
is actually from Fri, 01-Apr-1983: Glasgow - Scotland - Night Moves.
Who did the research? I could have told you that 25+ years ago!
some incredible new finds of late. Thanks as ever @Being for keeping the wiki updated and bringing these changes to our attention. It is much appreciated.

That poster originally came from me, I got it from Eddie the keyboard player. Their name is bigger because they made the poster. Some of the lines across the word 'abdabs' on his original had been coloured in with different coloured felt tip pens. He told me there was probably around a dozen people at the gig (and that dozen included the members of Screaming Abdabs). He also told me that Eldritch played drums on one of their demo tapes. Unfortunately he no longer had a copy (if he ever had one in the first place) and contacting the other band members wasn't possible as he wasnt in touch with them, he said he thought they'd become bank managers or something.
For those interested in 1983 and all that, I've added another gig to my blog this weekend, Manchester Gallery : http://sistersfan.blogspot.co.uk/2015/1 ... night.html
Not that many '83 gigs left to cover now, thanks to all the help I have had from people on here and on FB, but would love an eye witness account from anyone who was at any other TSOM gigs in 81-83 in particular.
