We’re sending Trekstock’s most awesome Jordan out to Reading Festival armed with a camera and tons of badges to get some new supporters, so find him in the crowd, get your badge  (he’ll prob give you lots of hot music tip off’s and tell you a joke or two also…)

There are too many favourite bands to mention so if you’ll be joining us this weekend, check out the line up, the ‘alternative ’stage packed full of comedians, poets, films and much more has just been announced too!

Not only that, we had a fantastic Trekstock stand next to our friends at the Artrocker signing tent, where we sold our limited edition t-shirts and bags, gave away some badges and told lots of people about the fantastic work that Trekstock does to help Teenage Cancer Trust.

We’d run a comp with Underage and Will Hazell won the chance to come and be on hand to take some incredible pictures for us at the fest as ‘Official Trekstock Photographer!’
He didn’t just take some incredible shots, together Freddie who’s doing an internship at CRUK and our star reviewer Jordan Joice, they ran around the sunny Victoria Park site, got guitars signed, handed out badges, spread the word and put Trekstock firmly on the Underage map, so big thanks boys!

A little note from Jordan and a little birdy tells me he might have a review in NME too…

‘Underage was a pleasure to be at this year. With glorious weather and a line up that would make any festival promoter run for their money, it was a guaranteed great day out.. And it didn’t disappoint.

With a bag full of badges, my sisters camera and a cheeky smile, my task was to spread the word about Trekstock and maybe even gain a few celebrity followers to add to the, always growing, friends list.

Along with Freddie, Max, Sophie and Lucy we stormed the festival and by the end we had everyone wearing either a Trekstock badge, bag or T-Shirt.

A few of my favorite shots I took were off Matt Bowman of The Pigeon Detectives, Patrick Wolf and James Smith of Hadouken! all modeling the famous ‘I ♥ Trekstock’ badges.

A big thanks goes out to everyone who was kind enough to take the time to have a badge picture, or even wear one on stage!

Oh, and thanks to Trekstock for inviting me ;)
