Trevor has had a long and extensive career in the music industry. Arriving in Dublin from Belfast in 1980 with indie band Katmandu, he went on to establish himself at the centre of the industry with his role in the group the Waterboys. After 6 years of touring and recording with the band he went on to help launch the career of Sharon Shannon along with col-leagues Steve Cooney and Maire Breathnach.
In 1997 he formed the group Lunasa, a group which is still very much at the forefront of Irish traditional music today. His unique approach to the double bass has helped define their sound over two decades and ten albums. In addition he set up Marguerite Studios in 1991. Countless albums have come from that facility, and production and engineering credits include Donal Lunny and Frank Harte, Tim O’Brien, Eric Bibb, Anna Friel, Cherish the Ladies, John Renbourne, Lunasa, JigJam, Mox-ie, Liz Carroll and many others.
He has performed and recorded with numerous artists including Natalie Merchant, Tim O’Brien, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Eric Bibb, Carlos Nunes, Ken Stringfellow (REM), Water-boys, Eddie Reader, Luka Bloom. He is currently producing a cd recording of the stage show Port.
