Stars back effort to return £30k of stolen equipment to Manchester band

A social media campaign is under way after a Manchester indie band had £30,000 worth of equipment stolen.

The Travelling Band's royal blue Ford Transit van was taken from a street in Levenshulme, Manchester, on Tuesday night.

Band member Adam Gorman said they had lost "all the gear we've amassed over the eight years of being a band".

Greater Manchester Police are investigating the theft and the band has been supported by many well known music stars, including Elbow's Guy Garvey.
