Band T-Shirt Woes


Our T-shirts, as modelled here by JLJ super-fans Rach and Tonii (in a Martin sandwich), are currently unavailable.

Sorry.

We left our box of merchandise at a gig in Manchester and have been unable to retrieve it. Don't worry, we'll still have plenty of merch for our upcoming gig this Thursday at 53 Degrees but it won't include t-shirts.

Unless, that is, someone finds our box of merch and decides to sell them after the gig, on the floor outside the venue. What do you call those guys? Pavement merchants? Roadside Shirt Vendors? No idea... anyway, our t-shirts just might pass for inexpensive knock-offs that are often sold in this manner. But I don't think we're big enough.

At what stage does a band get to that level of fame? To have entrepreneurial hopefuls make stashes of unofficial merch to sell after the gig?

If someone ever did do that for us, I'd probably pay to get an unofficial t-shirt myself.
