Born in Holloway north London and brought up to the sounds of the Beatles. Trevor got his first Guitar at the age of 13, and by 14 played in all sorts of function and dance bands. He went on to perform at Ronnie Scotts club at the age of 15. Trevor studied Music at Kingsway Collage for 2 years before leaving to travel to Norway with a covers Band.
