Shoppers in Cronulla Mall were treated to a scene of confusion and mild concern this week when Trevor, the Shire’s most self-important dachshund, was spotted busking outside the Brass Monkey.

Armed with a recorder, a triangle, and an ego that could headline the Opera House, Trevor delivered what witnesses described as a “haunting reinterpretation” of Oasis’s Wonderwall - complete with emotional howling during the chorus.

Among those who stopped was local MP Simon Kennedy, a known Oasis fan, who slipped a $20 note into Trevor’s hat and offered a few words of encouragement. “He told me to keep going,” Trevor told The Sutherland Shire Gazette. “I assume he meant my career, not the song.”

Since the encounter, Trevor has rebranded himself as a “multidisciplinary artist” and is now “open to collaborations” with local bands — though he insists they’d be lucky to have him. “I bring tone, rhythm, and brand awareness,” he said. “Plus, not many artists can play recorder and triangle while making eye contact.”

According to sources close to the dachshund, he’s already approached several local groups, including The Crabs, The Shiretones, and a wedding DJ from Menai, to discuss potential artistic partnerships. “I bring vocal range, rhythm, and brand recognition,” Trevor said. “And I own a triangle. It’s a complete package.”

Industry insiders are less convinced. One local musician described the performance as “a haunting mix of confidence and chaos,” while another simply said, “He was flat, and not just vocally.”

Still, Trevor remains defiant. “Look, Ed Sheeran was discovered busking. So was Tones and I. Why not me? If anything, I’m more relatable - shorter, moodier, more authentic.”
