Upcoming Events
Saturday June 16th 2012 - Midsummer MADness
Trerieve Farm, 7pm - midnight.
We've lined up a great array of local talent for our 2012 midsummer live music event: singer-songwriter Lucia Carloss will open proceedings with a set of her original material, followed by the
Deviock Community Music Orchestra,
now 30-strong and boasting a toe-tapping new repertoire.
We're also pleased to welcome
Banana Thieves,
an irresistibly funky quintet specialising in good-time, danceable tunes from across the pop style spectrum. The dancing fever will no doubt continue unabated when this year's headliners
Jessica and the Rabbits
take the stage - this exciting 7-piece play a mix of classic soul (including some vintage Tamla / Stax favourites), funk, '60s R&B, pop and blues.
As ever, we aim to provide you with an enjoyable evening in which we can all celebrate our local music scene in a fun family atmosphere. There'll be the usual hog roast, home-made food, local ales, cider and wine, with nearby camping facilities available free for those who wish to stay over and enjoy Trerieve's beautiful sea views.
Ticket prices: Adults £5, 12-16s £2, Under-12s free.
Anyone under 16 must be accompanied by a responsible adult of over 21. Please bring some ID! The terms of our licence expressly forbid anyone to bring alcohol onto the site, including the camping fields.
About Us
We are a not-for-profit organisation who have been organising local music-based events in Deviock, SE Cornwall for over ten years, starting with the Downsea festival in 1998 and the annual Jazz In The Park festival in Seaton. In 2008 we moved our music events to Trerieve Farm and subsequently adopted the name Music Around Deviock (M.A.D.), since you have to be mad to do this sort of thing! Our events have been a huge success with the local community, and with their help and support we look forward to promoting more in future.
M.A.D. aims to nurture local musical talent and give young people a chance to play. Anyone can become a member, so if you would like to get involved please contact Marian or Jim Candy at info@trerieve.co.uk, tel. 01503 250 376.
We are proud to support

Recent Events
Saturday March 24th 2012 - Silent Film with Live Music
Downderry Chapel, 7.30pm (high tea served at 7pm)
Another great event organised by our friends Helen & Hugo, to whom thanks!
A screening of E.A. Dupont's 'Piccadilly' (1929) with live music. For three magical hours, an audience sporting flapper dresses, feather boas and other vintage chic brought the heady glamour of 1920s London back to life in the somewhat improbable location of a SE Cornwall seaside village. Dupont's classic silent film was accompanied by imaginative, highly diverse and well-played score by
Wurlitza, drawing on a wide range of musical styles.
Friday February 3rd 2012 - Take Me To Hollywood by Scandimaniacs
Working Men's Club, Downderry
Organised by Helen Thomas and Hugo de Rijke.
Two-person theatre company Scandimaniacs entertained a packed WMC with their combination of physical theatre, musical parody and improvisation. The sharp-witted Swedish duo got the whole audience (including some entranced children in the front row) involved in their Take Me To Hollywood show and went down a storm, confirming that they are not only the "second best band in the world" but also somewhere near the top of the list of Downderry's favourite acts.
Sunday 20th November 2011 - DCM birthday party
Working Men’s Club, Downderry, 1pm - 3pm.
A lunchtime concert to celebrate Deviock Community Music's first anniversary. The 26-strong band performed a full programme of live music, while Music Around Deviock volunteers provided food and beverages. This fund-raising event was a great success, with profits ploughed back into the band's coffers to help cover next year’s insurance costs, various items of small equipment, professional fees (orchestrations, etc.) and possible future CD/DVD production costs. DCM wishes to formally thank M.A.D. for its kindness and support throughout DCM's first year of existence. According to founder Gerry Glynn, "We are one-year old, we have 26 members and just over £500 in funds, so the future for local community music looks good." Nice one, keep on rocking guys!
