All the best music's from the North isn't it? Well it is according to this new Casual Connoisseur T-shirt

What better way to express your love of the North’s musical heritage than via a lovely cotton T-shirt?

The ever inventive chaps at Casual Connoisseur have come up with these cracking T-shirts featuring the iconic Factory records image made up of the names of the best bands of the last 30 years. And Arctic Monkeys. All of which are, quite naturally, from the North.

A great conversation point in the pub as you reminisce with your mates about a time when music was music, remembering the gigs, nightclubs and associated antics.

Available in a variety of colours, you can get yours now for £28 delivered from casualco.com. And if that’s not enough you also get a free button badge. Double double good.

If you like it, Pass it on

I think you'll find The Chemical Brothers are from London.

It's fair to say they were born there but moved to Manchester - for the music, obviously - and made their name there. Slightly tenuous but passable.

Careful, you'll have Hooky sniffing round with that design, threatening lawsuits and all. Always got an eye out for a few extra quid he has.

RE: Hooky, and why not, I guess these aren't sanctioned by the original copyright holder? Regardless of that isn't anyone else getting a mite tired of the whole Factory milking, FFS if 80s Casuals are punting on one of their 'designs' based on a Factory product you know the bandwagon has well and truly bolted out the stable door.

What's this got to do with 80s Casuals? I'll tell you, nothing. We've been doing this tee for a few years now, before certain clubs opened and other labels copied our idea, there's no logo's stolen, no infringement, it's hand designed from scratch. Just a nice tee why piss on it's chips?

Factory, The Hacienda,ever wonder how it never made any money for Years? How New Order had to play gigs there just to balance the books? Strange how everyone appears to have been so in love with all things Factory. They had some good bands but they had some shit too. The Hydroplanes Revival starts now.

Chemical brothers link to Manchester tenuous?. No. Tom was a regular at both Nude night and Most Excellent.
