Our issue launch parties returned to Manchester’s The Deaf Institute last week, with DJ sets from Lil Silva and Girls On Film and a special guest in the form of Bench. Bench were in fact such a special guest, they came through with gifts for the first 50 people to make it to the door, and free drinks for those who’d remembered to pick up their VIP wristbands from their store in the Northern Quarter in the days before.

So, I guess this makes it okay to show you that many pictures of people posting Bench stickers on their heads… no?
