From the tender age of just 14 years Trevor began entertaining in his own locality at old Irish ceili houses and social evenings, by then an already accomplished accordionist. He was bitten by the showbiz bug and went on to further develop himself as a musician by learning to play the tenor saxophone and later the tin whistle and the clarinet.

His popularity grew and Trevor decided to form his own band on the road, a move that was to establish him as one of Ireland’s leading show bands. He became one of the first Irish bands to cross the Irish Sea to play to the Irish communities the length and breadth of England, Scotland and Wales. Such was his popularity that he had to relocate his wife and family to accommodation in Manchester, where they were based for over five years during the 60’s. During this time in England Trevor became immensely popular with the American forces and this led him and his family to the European continent and the NATO air force bases in Germany, France, Turkey, Luxembourg, Holland, Greece, Tripoli and the North African Continent. His claim to fame occurred when “ I played to the NATO forces in the middle of the Sahara Dessert” !

The green fields of Ireland began to call him home and Trevor returned with his family and formed a new band in his native town of Dromore in County Down. The band was to be known as ‘The Gaylords’ and later as ‘Dan and the Farmers’, the following seven years he played with ‘The Ravens Showband’ and then with Joe E Hamilton and his Band. However his heart lay in centre stage and Trevor decided it was time to once again launch his own band known as ‘Trevor Dixon and the Dixie Band’.

Recently Trevor has opted for a less jet set lifestyle, playing around the pubs and clubs in the North of Ireland with occasional trips across the water in his newly formed two-piece band. With the arrival of his two grandchildren he decided to spend more time with his family and in doing this has allowed himself more time to record a number of best selling albums; haunting Irish melodies, up-tempo rock and roll, lazy Irish waltz’s and emotional tales of Irish hardship and heart rendering songs of Irish love.
