This little poster has had an amazing response, so we figured we’d do a limited run as a way to raise some funds for The Gate’s next steps. If you’re keen to support what The Gate’s doing, you might like to consider buying one of these beautiful high quality prints (available in A2 and A3!) either via our online store at at the gig this Saturday.
thanks! :)
