TRAILER STAR R.I.P
2001 - 2006So 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 sitesTrailer 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
