Show us a garment decorator, and we’ll show you someone who plays in a band.
Musoes propping up screen presses and embroidery machines across the country
can hear some mighty fines tunes from industry colleagues thanks to our Primal
Screen Band Zone on the Images website
Shay Colston of Evesham-
based EHC Screenprinting is
in Officer Down, which played
its last ever gig in November.
Signed to TNS Records (fans
of this column will recall that
the October Primal Screen
artist, Faintest Idea, is signed
to the same label), the band
has called it a day as vocalist
and guitarist Mike Gammon
has moved to Bristol with his
job in A&E, making rehearsals
and gigs tricky.
Summing the band up as
playing fast, melodic punk rock
and “probably the worst band
TNS Records ever signed”,
Shay says a strong contender
for the best band T-shirt he’s ever owned is his NOFX Murder The Government one.

London roadshow
The Xpres London Roadshow in November was a great success, the company reported, with
decorators from across the country arriving at the White Rabbit Studio in Shoreditch, London to
see the latest Xpres products.
Among the products launched at the show were new textile laser papers, transfer films and
printable media, with the Solvent Dark Turbo, Laser No-cut and Brick being particularly well
received.
The three day show also included live demonstrations of sublimation, laser and DTG systems,
while machines on show, included the new Sawgrass Virtuoso sublimation printers and wide
format print-to-cut
machines.
“There was a great
atmosphere across the
three days and the
show was a real hit,”
commented Xpres.
“It was great to see
so many decorators
inspired by Xpres.”
