Help Ruff Trade & Ryan Replace Stolen Gear & Belongings After European Tour Theft !
Hi Everyone,
As many of you know, Ryan from Ruff Trade has been on a long journey traveling from the UK, through France, and onto Barcelona to support the band and promote the new album, Travelling.
Unfortunately, disaster struck while in Barcelona. Ryan’s entire setup, essential tools he relies on to make music, perform live, and earn a living were stolen, along with his personal belongings and clothing.
Having to travel all the way back to the UK with empty hands and heavy hearts is incredibly tough, but we are determined to get Ryan back up and running so Ruff Trade can keep playing and sharing Travelling with you all.
Full List of Stolen Equipment & Belongings:
Guitars & Cases:
- Fender Telecaster – Distinctive custom finish (Red, Gold & Green)
- Boss Guitar Case
- Green Flight Case (Heavy sticker coverage & signed RUFF TRADE)
Pedals & Effects:
- Boss RC-500 Dual-Track Loop Station
- Boss DD-3 Digital Delay Pedal
Audio & Live Performance Gear:
- Yamaha DXR12 Powered Speaker
- Yamaha MG10 10-Channel Mixer
- 2x Shure SM58 Microphones & XLR Cables
- Mic Stand
Busking & Mobile Power Setup:
- Eco-WORTHY Lithium 100Ah Battery
- Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter
Personal Belongings & Clothing:
- Touring Wardrobe & Clothes (Stage clothing, daily wear, jackets, shoes)
- Travel Luggage & Bags
- Personal Essentials & Travel Gear
To replace everything that was taken and help cover the financial hit of losing both gear and personal items, we’ve set up this GoFundMe.
Every single penny, share, and comment helps immensely.
If you can spare anything to help get Ryan back on his feet, or if you can simply share this page on social media, we would be endlessly grateful.
Thank you so much for your ongoing love and support for Ruff Trade!

Big Love!
