The band name The Sisterhood was used by two bands. The first were Wayne Hussey, Craig Adams and their colleagues,
who later had to give it up and went on as The Mission).
In order to stop Hussey getting hold of the name for his band, Andrew Eldritch also put a band together under The Sisterhood name.
His version of The Sisterhood released one single, Giving Ground, on 20 January 1986, the very day that Hussey's/Adam's band had
their first performance in the evening. After the Giving Ground single, The Sisterhood (under Eldritch) released their one and only album Gift.
