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
