Kiko Loiacono (aka Dr. Kiko) was a much loved UK and European tour manager for Luna, Mogwai, the Growlers, White Fence, Gruff Rhys and many many others. He passed away in his sleep in 2022, the night before he was to undergo a procedure for a hernia. Kiko was a wild and generous character, he liked to buy multiple copies of his favorite records and give them as gifts. He spent his holidays raising money for refugees in Eastern Europe. In his honor, and after discussing with his sister Ameliana, all profits from these shirts will be donated to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund who provide medical and humanitarian aid to injured and ill children in Gaza and Lebanon.

The shirt will be availabe in red, navy blue, or black. You can pre-order the shirt in Dean’s online shop until the 30th June when they’ll be printed up and shipped out by early August.
