Trevor was involved with Bernard and Greta Shaw in setting up the Ossett Barleycorn Folk Club in the late 70s and he was the MC there for a number of years. He was a very accomplished unaccompanied singer as well as writing and performing monologues. He died after a long illness and the funeral was in Ossett on Tuesday of this week. Roger |

I'm afraid we have lost a lot contact with the Ossett Folk Club since our permanent move to Whitby, so this came as a shock as we din't know he had been poorly. mandomad & Jingle |
