   About Trailer Star


TRAILER STAR R.I.P
2001 - 2006 So good he died twice. The strange tale of the late great Thames Valley Country Blues artist.. Born in a thunderstorm somewhere in the middle of the Thames Valley sometime before the fifties ended and the sixties started swinging 'Trailer Star' was known as the 'Legendary Thames Valley Cowboy'. His career abruptly short when his pick-up truck left a blind bend one frosty night on the downs near his trailer. But I could not let the story end there and his ghost continues to play. Trailer Star lives in his late great form and I continue to release his collected works on the internet through the official Trailer Star archives at various sites Trailer Star's ghost is now the fictional host from the Trailer Star Lounge of an Americana podcast Flyinshoes Radio which comes out roughly every two weeks and can be downloaded from itunes etc. Maybe one day Trailer will feature in his own novel/film but for now thanks for listening and please consider purchasing the Moon Over The Downs tribute as all proceeds go to Cancer Research UK. Shaun Belcher ( executor of the Trailer Star estate) Meanwhile enjoy this site dedicated to the legendary Trailer Star... born in a thunderstorm....bluer than the clouds when they're crying

I meant to do this a few weeks ago, but I wanted to thank you. I was named The 2007 Texas Singer/Songwriter of the Year, and I appreciate all of the support I received during the nomination/voting process.
I also just changed the songs on my profile and I invite you to check them out if you have a spare minute.

Thanks again and take care,

Robert

Hello Shaun

Good to find you here. My PC is rubbish at streaming audio but when I've got my broadband sorted out I'll give you a listen. I loved the Relationships album (I'm putting the chaps on in October).

I never knew you did record sleeves for Creation...I may have bought some of them (the Legend, Doing it for the Kids, etc)

Twizz seems immensely contented with married life. We can hardly tempt him out of Marston Street to gig nowadays...

Regards
Mark
