Thanks to some people on Heartland Forum ...

Here's a reply from Gary Marx to a Ghost Dance fan regards the Sisters play the Futurama Festival:

Was it really '81 ? Yes we played the Futurama Festival in Stafford - as to whether we were a last
minute addition I couldn't say. My memories are of playing the gig very early in the day and Andy
walking onstage and yelling 'bring out your dead' to the few Bauhaus and Theatre of Hate fans
scattered around the largely empty hall.

Now here's one for you trivia fans - the Sisters' line-up that day included a certain Dave Humphries
on 2nd guitar (it was actually his last Sisters gig I think). Not a name I've seen mentioned too many
times in the Sisters' story.
