It is with great sadness that I have to report that I have just heard that an old friend Trevor Lyon has passed away.
It was Trevor who helped me get into Shadow music in the first place in 1999 and he helped me a lot back then. He got me over to the Shaddicts club in Manchester where I met Warren Bennett and he suggested I go to the Warwick club where I met Alan Jones and David Martin along with many more nice people who became friends.
To say that Trevor helped me would be an understatement, through his initial help and his invitation to play at The Shaddicts first ever Christmas gathering at Flixton, I was subsequently invited all over Europe and ended up in Warren Bennet's band The Vibratos and playing along side Brian Bennett, Mark Griffiths and Dick Plant.
May you rest in peace Trevor and thank you for everything you did for me.
