Okay .... ...a collection of Trevor's music which could have included any number of tapes, LPs, bootlegs, master copies or not, etc etc with any number, variety, combination etc of British folk artists has potentially been misappropriated within the last fortnight here in the UK. (Given the circumstances, the words 'opportunist' and 'vulture' springs to mind).... Not only is this of huge sentimental value, but because this has 'disappeared' before being catalogued it is a potentially a great loss to the archives of the UK's folk music history. Somewhere, possibly, a private collector might be very keen to get hold of this material - but, more importantly, it should by rights belong to Trevor's young orphan son Please, if you care about the principals of integrity, respect, vs unjust exploitation of musicians' repertoire - let alone, what amounts to grave-robbing - please keep your ears and eyes peeled for this material. Off the top of my head, Trev worked/ recorded/ gigged/ was mates with (in no particular order) (please fill in the gaps, correct my memory (below)) Pentangle Giles Farnaby Dream Band - LP The Druids / Broken Consort The Eclection The Albion Band The Wurzels - wrote songs for Lyonesse - Breton/ Celtic folk band Steeleye Span - shared a house with them Bill Oddie - wrote a song with Trevor "Has anyone seen my teeth (or feet ...) can't remember which. Billy Connolly - on the circuit Mike Harding - on the circuit Robin Williamson John Renbourne The Dublin Jug Band Dead Dog Scrumpy I love Dorset etc This is a first (publicly aired) inquiry about this - please help if you can or want to.. I will be googling around to put more details together, but I know that Mudcatters have unprecedented and arcane knowledge, so your input would be welcome. I'm hoping we can get a more complete picture for his young son - who's now an orphan in Malawi, and anyone who's seen the news about orphans and conditions in Malawi will understand this).. Many thanks Nemesis
