New Knockout R&B Tonight t-shirt

To mark the recent launch of our Barney Bubbles blog we’ve produced a limited edition t-shirt based on the one in Barney’s award-winning poster Knockout R&B Here Tonight.

//New women’s tee (c) Reasons 2009// 

The original was a one-off which Barney created in 1964 to name-check Twickenham art school band The Muleskinners, whose ranks included Ian McLagan, superstar keyboard player with the Small Faces, The Faces, the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan. 

//T-shirt detail (c) Reasons 2009// 

To seal the connection, the back of our new tee has a reproduction of the “Cossack” ticket for a Muleskinners’ gig on Eel Pie Island (or “Eelpiland” as Barney called it).We’ve given tees to his family members as well as close friends including Mac, who was suitably knocked out when we saw him a couple of weeks back. 

//Custom-made tags (c) Reasons 2009// 

To cover the costs of production we are now making available a very limited number in Men’s L and Women’s M sizes. These come with tags with a potted history of the shirt and a reproduction of a frame from the photo-shoot.
