Gig merch that's worth the overdraft

Right, confession time — my Didsbury flat is basically a shrine to tote bags and tour tees I definitely didn't need but absolutely had to have. Working the Northern Quarter means I'm in and out of these spots constantly, usually clutching a pint and a lanyard, and somehow my bank balance never recovers from payday week. These are the bits of merch I keep coming back for — proper quality, proper Manchester, zero regrets (okay, maybe some regrets).
