COW WELCOMES: Big Deal

Yesterday Big Deal swung by our Manchester store to have a rummage for some vintage gems before they set off to Liverpool for their gig at the Shipping Forecast and also had a spare minute to squeeze in a photo shoot with our photographer Richard

Last night they played Manchester's Night and Day Cafe, with support from Sisters, and today they came up trumps with some real stand out pieces from our shop floor. 


Have a listen to their new single whilst you check out the photos below.
