Dr Peter Trumper 1934 –2015
To the surprise of many – not least to
himself – Dr Trumper lived to become an
octogenarian. Although housebound with
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) for the last 25 years,
his life was fascinating, memorable and
glorifying to God.
Born in Chatham, Kent, on 28 July, 1934,
he spent his earliest days in Cardiff. Taught
by George Thomas, the future Speaker of the
House of Commons, he became Dean
Scholar of the choir at Llandaff Cathedral,
and entered the College of Music at Cardiff
Castle. During these years he made records
in the HMV studio in London, sung on
radio, and went on to debut in film and to
appear in various theatres in England.
