Brixton Ace, London, England
Extended decade-long research among the fanbase has credibly proven, that there was NO concert of The Sisters of Mercy at Brixton Ace on June 19th, 1983 during their UK Spring Tour.
This is an error most likely based on a change of digits.
The correct date of The Sisters concert that the present date probably got mixed up with was Wednesday, 29 June 1983.
As a matter of fact and as visible in the newspaper announcement here on the left and the flyer on the right side,
Einstürzende Neubauten, were envisaged to play Brixton Ace that night, initially together with SPK and Test Department.
According to the music magazine SOUNDS in their issue of June 16th, 1983 Einstürzende Neubauten objected, however, to play with the other two bands and The March Violets were booked instead, together with The Loved One and DJ Stevo. While anyway, The Sisters of Mercy were listed to play on June 29th.
