formed the band Traffic. Trevor decided to chill for a while,
but soon got the urge to play live again, this has always been his first
love. He got in touch with Steve Gibbons with the view to
forming a new band, together with Denny Laine Formerly with
the Moody Blues, and Allen White from The Plastic Ono Band.
They formed the band called Balls. After the split with
Balls in 1971, Trevor spent the next few years as one of the top session
musicians with Island Records.

the request of Raymond Froggatt, Trevor returned to his
hometown of Birmingham, where he worked with Ray until 1976. Trevor teamed
