Trevor Crozier - Scrumpy & Western Troubadour
Trevor Crozier was one of those multi-talented and fascinating people with seemingly endless interests that he is almost impossible to categorise. However, his influence on Scrumpy & Western music is undeniable. The fact that he co-wrote one of Scrumpy & Western's greatest classic songs Don't Tell I, Tell 'Ee would be enough justification alone for including him in these pages.
However, his involvement in Scrumpy & Western didn't end there. He recorded a few records which have become classics in the genre and are now much sought after by collectors - see below for further details. But this was just one of his musical interests - he was also at various times during his career involved in such diverse music as skiffle, jug-band music, trad jazz, medieval music and many types of folk music including Irish, English and Breton. Over the years he built up a considerable reputation as a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, singer and entertainer as he performed at pubs, clubs and folk festivals.
Perhaps his diversity of interests owed something to his much-travelled youth - born inSouthampton in Hampshire, England, he spent time living in various parts of Africa; Cornwall; Devon; France; London and Ireland (and probably other places).
Trevor was a member of the legendary House Of David Jug Band while at Trinity College Dublin in the 1960s - he was a contemporary there of that other songwriter with Scrumpy & Western connections, Ian Whitcomb. After leaving university he formed the equally legendaryBroken Consort, immortalised for their strange amalgam of medieval and Scrumpy & Western music.
When Broken Consort lived up to their name and split up, Trevor (who was then living in Brittany, France) formed the Celtic folk group Lyonesse.
But back to Trevor's Scrumpy & Western credentials! As well as writing arguably one of the greatest songs in the Scrumpy & Western canon Don't Tell I, Tell 'Ee, he penned a few other songs recorded Scrumpy & Western artists including The Wurzels, Adge Cutler and The Yetties. His songs include The Piddletrenthide Jug Band, Dorset Is Beautiful, The Verger,Trouble Over Bridgwater (recorded in a slightly different version by US folk singers Simon & Garfunkel in the early 1970s) and the classic he recorded himself Dead Dog Scrumpy.
Not content with staying in music, Trevor was spotted in a TV documentary having branched out into - of all things - the growing and marketing of loofahs in Africa! Sadly, this true eccentric and unique entertainer met an untimely death in a motorcycle accident in Malawi. As long as scrumpy drinkers gather together to sing Don't Tell I, Tell 'Ee, he will live on, like Adge Cutlerbefore him, in song.
