Their belief was that a poster would not exist without music, hence, some of the finest bands were often selected to perform live sets alongside a showcase of posters. Poster Roast has since been put to rest and a new organisation known as UK Poster Association has been born and acts as an organising body and web resource to promote the UK gig poster scene, with a focus on limited edition, screen printed works.
