About Trek Trek formed in 2016 and was the brainchild of Graham Ford who wanted to start a group to showcase new Australian musicals using backing track technology {Karaoke}. The idea is that a show can be easily traveled and put on any-where, hence the name Trek. Our first production was “Such as Life”, the story of Ned Kelly, written by group member Alan Flint, with a score by John Bumford {Graham’s brother}. Trek is presently searching for more shows. In the interim our latest production is a cabaret style show featuring popular songs from Musicals and places.
