Did anyone know that Tom Ashton from the Violets toured with the Sisters in 1983? Or is that a well known fact? (Sorry I just joined this forum today!)

Just realised that Quiff Boy has put a bit on the "Where are they now?" section. Should have looked first, sorry! Anywayz, found out recently that my cousin Tom was actually in the March Violets after years of being told by my family "Your cousin Tom's bands never got anywhere Elizabeth."

Well I never knew that. I guess that was after Ben Gunn left the band?Brideoffrankenstein wrote:Did anyone know that Tom Ashton from the Violets toured with the Sisters in 1983? Or is that a well known fact? (Sorry I just joined this forum today!)

yep, according to mr marx he was their stand-in second guitarist for a few live dates (on an american tour, i think?!?) in 1983... i cant remember exactly why or how it came about as at the time i came by that info i was quite, quite drunk...

Ah ha!!! (Sorry, couldn't resist)
It would prolly have been after Ben Gunn left then. More Sisters trivia unearthed, cheers to everyone!
