Gig night essentials

This is basically my shopping list for a life spent sprinting between soundchecks and doors-open — merch I've actually bought with my own hard-earned (RIP my bank balance every Record Store Day), bits I grab on the way to work in the NQ, and things I point touring bands towards when they ask where to go. If it's not gig-adjacent or band-adjacent it's probably not making this cut — sorry Didsbury, you're lovely but you're not getting a look in here!!
