Shimmorabilia

Souvenirs collected from gigs by Shimmy Rivers And And Canal, such as flyers, tickets, setlists, sandwiches, saxophones etc.
"This Shimmy Rivers And And Canal poster has been really lovingly drawn, in keeping with Stolen Recordings' hand-made æsthetic. I must rip it off the wall and save it for the nation! Along with all this other Shimmorabilia."
