25 beautiful gig posters. I remember coming out of gigs when I was a teenager, quickly scanning the streets frantically for gig signage or posters that were rarely left behind by the vultures that had left before the encore.
They were prized souvenirs from the show you had just seen and if you were lucky enough to find one then it would go straight up on the littered wall at home (if you could find a space for it.)
