Trevor spoke out on leaving The Move in an article in 'Q Magazine', in the "Where Are They Now" series from April 1992:"I'd had enough. It was getting too commercial for me. I was more into the blues and jamming. I got fed up with being told what to do and how to look. I didn't miss the fame." Did session work at Island Studios, contributed to Paul Kossoff's Back Street Crawler, ex- Spooky Tooth guitarist Luther Grosvenor's solo album and tracks with Gary Wright before moving back to Birmingham. Joined Raymond Froggatt Band in 1974, which disbanded after one single; subsequently joined The Steve Gibbons Band. Left in 1982. Now fronts the blues-based Trevor Burton Band, playing the Midlands pub circuit. "I'm happy playing music. It's what I've always done since I was 13." Article excerpt © Q Magazine |
