Pete Trewavas (born Peter Trewavas, 15 January 1959, Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, England) is an English musician. He joined Marillion in 1982, taking over the role of bassist,[1] from Diz Minnett, while acting occasionally as a backing vocalist and acoustic guitarist.
Although he was born in Middlesbrough, Trewavas spent much of his childhood in the Buckinghamshire town of Aylesbury. It was in Aylesbury that he became involved in several bands, having most success with The Metros, before taking up his long term role in Marillion.
Although still a full member of Marillion, in recent years, Trewavas has also become a member of the progressive rock supergroup, Transatlantic. In 2004, Trewavas co-founded another group called Kino, with John Mitchell (Arena), John Beck (It Bites) and Chris Maitland (ex-Porcupine Tree).
In 2011, Pete Trewavas joined up with his longtime friend Eric Blackwood to form the duo Edison's Children. The new project was designed to be a creative outlet for Pete Trewavas (who has traditionally recorded in a "band" or "group" format on bass and acoustic guitar), in which he could also play lead guitar, lead vocals, drum programming and keyboards as well as have full creative control over the writing and producing of the record with. The 72 minute concept album "In The Last Waking Moments..." about a man fighting to understand if a recent bizarre happening was reality or a decent into madness, is to be released on 11.11.11. [2]
Trewavas has also appeared in Prog Aid, the charity project set up to raise money for victims of the 2004 tsunami.
Trewavas was a guest musician on English progressive rock band Big Big Train's 2007 album, The Difference Machine.
Though primarily a bassist, Trewavas has been known to write keyboard parts during his time with Transatlantic, and has played acoustic guitar on Marillion songs, particularly "Faith" and "Now She'll Never Know".
