Wayne Hussey, here on stage with The Sisters of Mercy a few months later @Rock City, Nottingham, 17/10/84

Tin Can Ballroom (In The Fantasy), Birmingham, England

The starting gig of The Sisters of Mercy's Spring Tour of 1984 and the was the first concert with Wayne Hussey. From here, the tour went to the US and continued from May to June in the UK and Europe.

A short review of the performance could once be found @The Heartland Forums Photo Gallery, which - sadly - has meanwhile disappeared due to forum software updates. Further circumstances and matters around Wayne's first gig and Ben Gunn's departure are, however, also discussed here.

An audience recording from the concert does exist and is in circulation among the fanbase.
