Troggs mural Gofundme by Frome artist Boz

 Fundraiser by PAUL BOSWELL : Reg Presley legendary singer of the Troggs tribute mural

Since creating the large UFO / Warminster Thing mural in Warminster last Summer which attracted a fair bit of media attention,It’s been suggested that I create a mural for Reg Presley, legendary singer of the Troggs who in later life was very interested in UFOs , crop circles and other strange phenomena . So we have been given a wall for this and are currently trying to get some funds together to make it happen. The funds are for paint mainly and my time creating it .

A similar donation based thing happened with the Warminster mural and it worked very well.So any Reg or Troggs fans or anyone interested who want to see this happen can donate here :
