Street Teams / Can I Help? / Flyers and Social Media
Without you Undercover Festival will simply not happen and with your help we can make this year’s festival a great success.
Any help you can give to get to word out is appreciated as it all helps make Undercover that extra bit special.
Please contact us at undercoverfest@btinternet.com if you can help flyer gigs in your area. Plus if you know of any shops, records, clothes, vintage etc that can put up a poster or stick flyers on their counter, please let us know.
Who we can reach on social media is limited unless we spend bundles on advertising which means we would not have much left for bands etc, so your help by inviting people to the event page and sharing banners when they are up will be greatly appreciated.
