The NX in Newcastle

NX, Newcastle, England, UK

The first gig in Newcastle since the 1980s. As the venue had a very early curfew line, The Sisters of Mercy could not play their usual set, but surprised the audience with an astonishing and unprecedented version of Dominion / Mother Russia accompanied with a live saxophone played by early Psychedelic Furs saxophonist Duncan Kilburn ...

Opening act were The Virginmarys.
