What was the shop called? I'm not too far from Manchester, it'd be worth the journey if its good.

I’m terrible and can’t remember. I’ll be back there today I’m sure so I’ll get the name and a pic of their business card if they do them.

I know it’s heretical to say, and doubtless most annoying for the bands, but I really love bootleg t-shirts.

(I should clarify: I wouldn’t do this to a new band who probably need the money, but I reckon Siouxsie and Robert can probably afford to subsidise some enterprising screen-printers.)

I know they’re mundane shirts, but where I’m from in England there’s literally 0 alternative shops to buy any sort of band T-shirt’s. Finding these made my day.
Nothing mundane about those shirts! :)
You do know about the internet, right?
Yes but it doesn’t beet the feeling of scrolling through a rack of 100s of bands you’ve listened to. Ordering online never beats physical purchases.
there really is something special in that. it's why i miss video stores and trading card shops so much.
Exactly! Then finding out it’s an XS...
No. You’re absolutely right. Your post genuinely cheered me right up that anyone still went to shops and did this.
On the other hand, the internet is also very useful. :-)
