Ben Gunn was the second guitarist with The Sisters Of Mercy from 1981-1983.
He joined the band later than Craig Adams and after the The Damage Done release, when The Sisters started employing Doktor Avalanche. Although some people believed that he was only in the band to support live appearances, he played on all the singles between Body Electric andTemple Of Love.
Eventually, as the band was to sign to WEA, Benn Gunn quit in disgust, referring to personal differences between himself and Andrew Eldritch and claiming that The Sisters had started out as a joke on rock outfits, and now had become one themselves. He was replaced by Wayne Hussey.
After The Sisters of Mercy, he played in a band named Torch and then formed a band named Anabas, who released two singles Anabas, featuring the songs Barricades and Dreamdance and Tea House Camp.
