A host of big names have come together to raise funds for the Teenage Cancer Trust's Trekstock.

The charity gig brought out the likes of the Mighty Boosh, Starsailor and Gavin and Stacey's Matt Horne who did their bit for the cause at Boogaloo in Highgate, north London.

Starsailor's James Walsh said: "Roger Daltrey phoned us some time ago to do a gig at the Royal Albert Hall for the Teenage Cancer Trust.

"As a result of that, the organisation were aware that we were supporters for the cause, so they decided to give us a call and see if we'd be involved in the Trekstock gig at the Boogaloo."

They were also joined on the bill by The Holloways for the gig, which raised cash for treks taken in aid of the charity.

The first Trekstock gig took place in 2006 and has since been supported by stars including Lisa Moorish, Mystery Jets and Ben Parker.
