Doves
2000 UK Tour
A rare, collectible tour poster. 25 year’s on!
25 year’s ago, English band Doves embarked on their first UK Winter Tour with their Platinum selling debut album, Lost Souls.
Beginning in Cambridge at the end of October 2000, and closing at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire late November, the tour was accompanied throughout by a hand-printed and embossed Winter Tour poster.
Saved until now, and twenty five year’s later, only fifty of these rare and highly collectible vintage posters remain from the original print run of 250, hand pulled from that cold mill in Manchester’s Longsight.

Photographed by LW in Brasov, Romania in the frozen winter of 1999, the main motif featured is a string of white lightbulbs that wrapped the Christmas Tree and spanned each corner of the town square.
Screen printed and embossed with a Kursivschrifft typeface using a steel plate onto a bright white c300 gsm paper, the image was originally presented as a hand-printed Bromide.
This original image was exhibited at Manchester's Cornerhouse.
