The Sisterhood

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. Eldritch's version of The Sisterhood released one single, Giving Ground, in the morning of the day that Hussey's/Adam's band had their first performance in the evening.

An album titled Gift followed.

Andrew Eldritch wrote and produced the music, but for contractual reasons was unable to sing officially, as Warner still held him under contract. It was commonly believed (and said so in the press) that James Ray sang/spoke all of the lyrics, until Ray denied singing on The Sisterhood's version of Colours, in an interview with the Heartland fan-site here. Ray confirmed as well in another interview that it was Lucas Fox doing the vocals for Rain From Heaven.
