Trev Thoms also known as Judge Trev Thoms and Judge Trev [citation needed] is a British guitarist.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, he played in a blues-rock group with hints of progressive rock and heavy rock called Iron Maiden - not the famous group of the same name - along with Barry Skeels,[1][2] who later played for Zior[3][4] and eventually became a tour manager for acts such as Black Sabbath, Saxon, Manowar, and Yngwie Malmstein[5] (another member of the band was called Steve Drewett, but probably he is not the same person as the one who later founded The Newtown Neurotics).[6][7][8] They recorded one album called Maiden Voyage.[9][10]

He later played in the seminal British Blues Boom band, Spirit of John Morgan.[11] He has backed such luminaries as Graham Bond, Gregory Isaacs, Steve Gibbons and was a member of Steve Peregrin Took's band Steve Took's Horns with Dino Ferari on drums.[12]

After The Horns broke up in the late 1970s both Thoms and Ferari joined ex-Hawkwind's Nik Turner in Inner City Unit. Thoms also worked with Turner and Twink under the hybrid Pink Fairies/Hawkwind name Pink Wind. He later formed Atomgods and has worked with other ex-Hawkwind members including Ron Tree.[13] He and Ferari formed their own version of Inner City Unit called Judge Trev's Inner City Unit. A regular 'collaborator' he also played with the revived Pinkwind featuring Nik Turner & Twink (ex Pink Fairies) and after moving to Brighton regularly appeared with Slim Tim Slide (Tim Rundall) sometimes under the pseudonym "Stinky & Stumpy", a partnership that continues sporadically.

He plays festivals such as the Big Green Gathering, Cosmic Puffin Festival,[14] Glastonbury, Earthwise etc., performing his solo acoustic set or with the reformed Inner City Unit with Nik Turner. He is currently playing gigs as Trev and Kev with Kev Ellis, singer from Bubbledubble.

He also runs the website Real Festival Music[15] where he also writes festival reviews.
