In September 2021 I attended my first Vintage ‘Rock and Roll ‘ Weekend festival for over 2 years at the Richmond Holiday Park, Skegness.  This was my first real chance to see a few live bands after the Covid pandemic forced us all to stay home. I wrote the song while there in 20minutes and recorded it on my iPhone  in the caravan in which I was staying between the afternoon and evening shows. I’m singing and playing all the guitar parts and my buddy Andy Moran is on drum box and backing vocals. It’s not the the greatest recording but we had fun doing it

‘Rockin’ At The Richmond’ Skegness Caravan Recording featuring Trev & Andy Moran

I wrote this song a few years ago whilst reminiscing about the old times when every town had at least one working mans club and a miners welfare. I often get asked for this when I play open mic nights and will usually include it when I do a solo set of original numbers. One of these days I’ll get around to recording it properly.

Club Song Demo

I’ve been trying  to record some songs so I can release a four track ep this year (2021). It’s taken longer than I’d like but this is a preview of one of the completed tracks it’s a tongue-in-cheek  tribute to a type of singer songwriter you’ll occasionally come across at open mic / jam nights.

This is not a Good Song (Crap Song) Preview

I wrote this song many years ago, It was one I originally played with my band Relapse. I’ve always liked it but never been able to record it to my liking. This version was recorded spring 2021 while I was putting together my ep. At the time I didn’t like it so erased the recording from my multitrack. 8 months later I stumbled across it on my iPad , it’s got a scratch vocal with coughing heavy breathing and an  ad-lib’d intro. The guitar part was done on the fly and is full of errors but listening now it’s better than I remember so I thought I’d post here.  Two totally different master mixes ca be heard on my forthcoming ep

I wrote this is around 80/81 as a rock steady type song and it became a regular in our live set. We changed the arrangement in the studio just prior to recording and ended up with a more dub reggae sound to the live version

Games Of The Night by Relapse 1982/3

Dead Skunk by Drake 'N' Strummer

King Bee live at the Mowbray Arms, Epworth, 2006. King Bee were: Trev Strummer,  Vocals and guitar, Dom Adams Bass and backing vocals. The drummer track is proberbly our 2nd Drummer Kelv Preston. Not perfect I briefly mess up just after the 1st solo as the pub was hot and  heaving and we we’re sweating cobs. Our stage lights were blindingly bright so it was often difficult to see my hands on the guitar .

One of the first tracks I wrote for Relapse in 1978,  a popular live Track which we thought would make a decent single. Record to multitrack during our second Studio session at Barking Spiders Studio Nottingham.  The band Line-up: Trev Strummer, guitar and lead vocals, Steve Thompson, lead guitar / vocals, Mick Thorley, Bass / Vocals, Steve Wheelhouse Drums. It’s ok but the studio couldn’t cope with the overdriven  sound we  had on this track so guitars were  cleaned up which killed it for me.  Original Drummer Andy had left the band a few months earlier so Steve From Then System was drafted in to help out
