\nTrigon<\/b> formed in 1974 with Rick Thawn<\/b> who had been rhythm guitarist with Fisson<\/b> (Johnny Adams’s band) and Paul Samson<\/b>. They were featured in Hobo Magazine<\/i> in 1974 and played several times for the Hobo Workshop<\/i> at the Holyhead Rd. Youth Centre. <\/span>

This is an entry from Hobo Magazine – 1974<\/b>
TRIGON<\/b><\/p>\n

“Are another newly formed band to hit the scene. Featuring Rick Thawn<\/b> (Ex Fission) on lead guitar, Gary Kirton<\/b> on drums, (Ex Whistler<\/b>), Paul Samson<\/b> (Ex Mick Green Blues Band<\/b> ). Terry Hyde<\/b> on bass. There music is jazz-rock orientated, heavy with percussion, although they try to make their music as comprehensive as possible. Plans include entering for the Melody Maker<\/b> contest and a possible tour of Austria. (Trigon<\/b> also played the Hobo Workshop later in 1974).”<\/p>\n

………………….<\/p>\n

Note<\/b> – Paul Samson<\/b> (who was in this band) was for a while confused with Paul Sampson<\/b> (with a p’) of The Reluctant Stereotypes<\/b>. We have now established that there were two Coventry guitarists with a very similar name, hence the confusion!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
