 Surfacing in ‘68,T
Harding, the son of psychedelic penny-farthing manufacturer
John Cockcroft, was born with one arm longer than the other. The unusual
youth turned this to his advantage and in 1880 was crowned Berks.
Victorian javelin champion, however the pressure of novelty athletics
soon proved too much for Harding and he was admitted into the Priory
suffering from nervous exhaustion – there he was given drug + musical
therapy on the harp. Trevor identified greatly with music and quickly
mastered over two instruments! Including harpsichord and piccolo.
At a dancehall
reggae pan-pipe workshop Trevor teamed up with G Haystacks, both were
suffering with a massive weight problem, their avant-garde acid-ska
road-show however was a success and the two toured the Benelux countries
for three weeks. On their return their act “Wattle & Daub” landed a
support slot on TV’s “Jenny Powel’s Hot”
It was here that
Trev met flower-power free love fundamentalist Nasser Bouzida.
Their musical collaborations would shake the world/Newbury.
