"A
songwriter's singer. He delivers with his own special style.
and soul. I envy his talent!!" - Ray Martin
- Trevor
was born in England and was brought up in the strict English
boarding school system, learning classical piano and playing
the organ for the Sunday church services.The emergence of
folk music in the mid sixties led by such names as Bob Dylan,
Paul Simon, Pete Seeger and Peter Paul and Mary changed
Trevor's attitude to music, here was a style in which he
could express his own feelings, in his own way.
- Trevor
swapped his piano for a guitar, donned duffel coat and jeans
and headed off with high hopes to the local folk club, there
he found that it was not as easy as he thought, being just
14, but, after a few rather comical attempts he started
to get it right!Within a couple of years he was playing
the folk club circuit and rock and roll dances during the
band breaks where he kept the money that was thrown at him,
a painful but financially rewarding experience!!At 16 years
of age he took a solo journey to the USA. It was an exciting
and rather long way from his life as an English public schoolboy,
but it was an adventure the would set the pattern of Trevor's
life.
- Travelling
and singing became his lifestyle, hitchhiking through Europe,
sailing the Mediterranean, a return Odyssey through North
America and eventually Australia in 1974.Whilst working
as a stockman, in the Snowy Mountains, he realised that
he found his home, and a year to the day of his arrival
in Australia he became an Australian citizen.
- Since
that time, his career has flourished, performing regularly
on television, shows all over the country and overseas,
and fulfilling one of his long time ambitions, a concert
at the Sydney Opera House. Trevor has never lost his love
of the bush and is a horseman of some note having represented
New South Wales in the Tom Quilty 100 miles endurance ride
twice and travelled to every state in Australia to compete
in this prestigious event with his beloved Valinor Park
Armistice, a horse that he bred and delivered himself on
the 11th. Hour of the 11th. Day of November 1983, hence
the name!
- Whatever
and wherever Trevor sings, he gives his all, music is his
life and he conveys this love to his audience. As Ray Martin
said "He delivers with his own special style...and
soul. ..I envy his talent"
