A rare opportunity to buy an original poster direct from the archive of legendary promoter Mint Burston. Mint was a pioneering music promoter whose grassroots vision helped shape the UKs alternative soundscape from the late 1970s through the early 2000s. Operating primarily out of Southampton and Birmingham, Burston booked early gigs for future legends Radiohead, Oasis, Coldplay long before they hit the mainstream. His tenure at The Joiners Arms turned the venue into a launchpad for indie and punk acts, while his earlier work at The Fighting Cocks in Moseley laid the groundwork for Birminghams post-punk revival.

This poster archive captures the raw energy of Burstons era: hand-pulled gig flyers, rare tour sheets, and promotional artwork from shows that defined a generation. Each piece reflects his eye for talent and his commitment to giving emerging artists a stage. For collectors and historians alike, its not just ephemera its a blueprint of Britains underground music movement.
