This year at Lovebox festival Trekstock was the official charity partner for the Friday & Saturday so we headed down with Trekstock badges in hand to try and recruit new supporters, listen to some amazing bands and get some interviews with some top musicians and celebs!
The incredible talent that is Jeff Leach, armed with his very own and handmade ‘love box’ kindly hosted our backstage interviews, getting up close and personal with some amazing talent including Paloma Faith, Yeasayer, Ellie Goulding, The Maccabees, Noisettes, our good friend Rox and our Patron Mark Ronson! Check out all the action here.
WATCH OUR INTERVIEW VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE!
Kitted out in volunteer t-shirts specially designed by our friend Henry Holland we managed to attract loads of interest from new Trekstock supporters so thank you to everyone for your much appreciated donations and interest! Showcasing the new limited edition band tees evoked loads of interest from the Lovebox crowd and if you’re interested in purchasing one of our amazing tees then please pop by our website to take a sneaky peak.
Backstage a Peavey guitar was being signed by the likes of Roxy Music, Mark Ronson, Ellie Goulding and many more and there is soon to be an exciting competition where the winner will get this super cool guitar all for themselves!
Thank you to everyone who volunteered, donated and joined us in our first round of festival fun.
