ANNOUNCEMENT: TAMCO retirement.

[trevor]

Its been 20 fantastic years!

I have so enjoyed working with mandolin luthiers large and small, wonderful customers and many thanks to Scott - and being a very small part of this wonderful community. But poor health and advancing old age have regretfully made me decide to call it a day. I will carry many wonderful memories for the rest of my days.

[Jill McAuley]

Ah, so sorry to hear this but also congratulations on a well deserved retirement.

[John Kelly]

You will be sorely missed, Trevor. Hope you have a long and happy retirement.

[Ray(T)]

..... and it’s also 20 years since I bought my first mandolin from you Trevor. You and your iconic shop will be sadly missed but none of us can go on for ever. To echo John’s words, have a long and happy retirement and, hopefully, we’ll still hear from you on the board from time to time.

[trevor]

Thanks everybody, I should be around until June/July. Reductions on current stock, website should be updated later today.

[Mandolin Cafe]

Best wishes for retirement Trevor. Thank you for your support over the years. Appreciated.

[trevor]

Thank you Scott.

[Jeroen]

One visit to Brighton taught me more about the variety in top quality mandolins than any festival, jam or instrument store that I had been to. Thank you for what you meant for the mandolin world, Trevor. Especially on our side of the pond.

[Bren]

Best wishes Trevor.
I never made it to your shop but had been planning to do so later this year.

[LKN2MYIS]

Thank you for everything you have done for the community.

Have a happy and health retirement - you've earned it!

Congratulations on your retirement!

[Jim Garber]

Best wishes to you on your retirement, Trevor. I hope you will still contribute to our forums here.

[Dagger Gordon]

Best wishes to you Trevor.

I still am very happy with the Collings I got from you. The mandolin world in the UK will be much poorer.

The highlight of my trip across the pond to London a decade ago was a 75 minute train ride south with my teenage daughter to visit Trevor’s Brighton shop. His charm and wit, let alone the vast collection of wood treasures were truly memorable. Be proud and enjoy your retirement. You’ve done so much for the niche mandolin community. And globally!

[MikeEdgerton]

I wish you the best for the future Trevor.

[oldwave maker]

Thanks for all you've done to expand the mandoworld, and wishing you a long and satisfying retirement. We'll have another Bruichladdich toast if you make it this way again!

[David Rambo]

Best wishes on your retirement. (It's the best job I ever had!)

[JEStanek]

Wishing you a happy and fulfilling retirement, Trevor. Hope you enjoy it and have a chance to play music for fun.

That’s my Clark GOM you’re holding there Ted. I wonder what happened to the Nuggett?

[trevor]

Thanks everybody. Hi Bill, sorry I don't think my health will be up to traveling again but I have a few operations coming up so you never know, I may tread your boards again! I will live in hope.

[mandrian]

Trevor,

Thanks for all you did for the UK mandolin community and wider. You made instruments available to us that we would probably never got hold of.

Best wishes for your retirement.

Regards,

[Johnny60]

Good luck for the future, Trevor.

[Randi Gormley]

sorry to see this but happy for your retirement! Hope you'll continue with the Cafe -- always nice to hear from you!

[CES]

Sorry that I never made it over to visit your shop, Trevor, and sorry to hear about your health issues. Best wishes for your upcoming operations!

[HonketyHank]

All the best to you, Trevor. My expectation is that you will continue to make people just as happy in retirement as you have in business.
