T-shirts

Since day 1, we made t-shirts for ourselves & to give to our chums. Throughout the year we rotate past designs in the downstairs bar. Most notorious was our 1990 'Fuck Racism/Join Hands' which we were instructed by the police to stop producing. They didn't see the bigger picture and thought 'Fuck' was the most offensive word on the shirt. When Jamiroquai was playing in Newcastle on his second ever tour, him & his band came to World Headquarters to wig out after the show. At the end of the night he sang an accapella happy birthday for Roya who was a girl who worked with us, who is now a doctor at the RVI. We hung out etc & exchanged T-shirts. Two weeks later a massive photo of Jay Kay was featured in the centre pages of the NME holding up our 'F R' shirt, as part of an anti racism feature. Old skool flavour from a top guy. This shirt is on permanent display & hangs opposite the bar. Current T-shirt designs will be available in our online shop from the middle of November.
