Vanity Fare has been described as one of the finest vocal ensembles to come out of the sixties and, as lead vocalist for Vanity Fare, Trevor Brice was labelled by the music media of the time as Britain’s answer to Frankie Valli (Four Seasons USA), on account of his extraordinary vocal range.
Trevor was the front figure of Vanity Fare for more than 11 years, performing at some of the most prestigious venues in the world alongside many music legends. Some of the more noteworthy artists the boys got to work with were: The Beach Boys (1968 - Beach Boys European tour) , Mamma Cass (1970 - guests on Mamma Cass TV Show), Sammy Davis Junior (1968 - guests on Simon Dee TV Show), The Moody Blues (1970 Mamma Cass TV Show), Sir Cliff Richard (1968 – 74 regular guests - BBC TV Top of the Pops), Engelbert Humperdink (1969 BBC Engelbert Humperdink TV Show), Niel Diamond/Tony Jo White (1970 Live outdoor concert, Montgomery, Alabama, USA), Sir David Frost (American TV David Frost Show New York), The Edwin Hawkins Singers (1969 Royal Albert Hall, London), Aretha Franklin (1970 BBC Radio 1 Club) and many more.
Trevor left Vanity Fare, and show business, in 1980 and moved to Scandinavia to follow a commercial career. He is now 59, the proud father of two children, and an experienced language teacher and translator, holding courses in presentation techniques for some of Denmark’s top companies.
