Red Wedge Tour 1986 Vintage Wash T-Shirt

When musicians tried to get young people in to politics! Formed in 1985, Red Wedge was a group of musicians (fronted by Billy Bragg, Paul Weller and Jimmy Somerville) who wanted to engage with young voters in order to garner more support for Labour ahead of the 1987 General Election, and in 86 they held a number of tours. The tour featured The Style Council, The Communards, Junior Giscombe, Lorna Lee and Jerry Dammers. Guest appearances were also made by Madness, The The, Heaven 17, Bananarama, Prefab Sprout, Elvis Costello, Gary Kemp, Tom Robinson, Sade, The Beat, Lloyd Cole, The Blow Monkeyz, Jools & The Smiths. Following the Conservatives' successful campaign in 1987, many musicians moved away from the project and eventually Red Wedge was formally disbanded in 1990. Vintage Wash for that "lived-in" look. Relive a classic period of great music with this exclusive design!

The Smiths - Artists Against Apartheid Gig (Brixton 1986) Vintage Wash T-Shirt

Standing up for a good cause! This gig from December 1986 in Brixton was done as part of Artists Against Apartheid - a protest group founded the year prior showing their disapproval of the apartheid movement in South Africa. At this gig, both The Smiths and Pete Shelley performed - a great line-up in itself and at an incredible price too (compared to modern times, this would still be less than £25!). Vintage Wash for that "lived in" look. A must-have for fans of Pete Shelley and The Smiths!
