The Sisters Of Murphy - Sun Aug 22nd - The Limelight, Crewe.
Our last ever gig with Sid (Mockeldritch).... its likely to be emotional...
The line-up;
The Sisters Of Murphy (Sid's vocal finale)
Rhombus
Exploding Kid (Final gig with Sids awsome bass talents!)
Firstly, the lowdown from the Smurphs website:

[6/1/2004]
Hello,
Sad news im afraid. Sid, our "mockeldritch" is calling it a day. He has been a fantastic vocalist for us and on top of that has been a quality controler for the songs we perform as he is also an awsome bass player and has a cast iron knowledge of arrangements and lyrics. We were all aware that Sids job hunting would eventually take him to the other end of the country, London in this case, but we were hoping that one way or another we could make the band work, but Sid has decided to make a clean break and we all respect him for that.
On a personal note id just like to say thanks mate for all your hard work and advice and ill miss you hugely, love ya and best of luck in the future.
As for the future of The Sisters Of Murphy both Mark and myself are of the opinion that while the gigs are still coming in and we enjoy them so much we still want to continue. Steps are currently underway to make this possible and an announcement should come shortly. All gigs currently booked will be honoured.
A devastated man that still has a plan,
Paddy

So the end of an era for us, and one we are hoping you can join us at. Ive eulogised the greatness of the venue many times so thats a given. As well as his final gig with the Smurphs its Sids last gig with Exploding Kid for whom he plays bass, and wait till you see him play bass! We have our good friends Rhombus playing again, goth but good as you all know and there is likely to be some "song get-togethers" as is traditional.
The Sisters Of Murphy started as a bit of a joke really, and for some reason we just kept getting gigs. Sid joined after a year and a half to replace our origional singer who left and really transformed the band into something im very proud of to this day. Im not looking forward to coming offstage at this one and knowing thats it for this line-up, after 5 years with the same people, its rather like family.
See you there.
Paddy.
