In partnership with the Music Venue TrustMarshall Amplification have launched a special t-shirt as part of their support of the #saveourvenues campaign.

All proceeds from the t-shirt will help fund grassroots music venues through the continued economic threats and challenges they face. Taken from UK rockers Bad Touch’s latest single, a rock and roll cover of Kiki Dee’s 1974 hit I’ve Got The Music In Me, the t-shirt and Marshall encourage everyone in the music industry and their fans to stand up and support their local venues whilst declaring “I’ve Got The Music In Me”. The single is taken from Bad Touch’s new album Kiss the Sky out June 19th. Commenting on the partnership,  Mark Davyd “Music Venue Trust is delighted that a business so renowned for their connection to live music has stepped forward to help raise money for grassroots music venues. It may still be some time before you can visit a venue but you can help #saveourvenues by buying and wearing Marshall’s campaign T-shirt.”
