Sweet Caroline South Zeal
Here Trev plays at the King’s Arms in South Zeal, a thriving Devon village just a few miles east of Okehampton. Trev on one of his many pub gigs plays the Neil Diamond 1969 classic “Sweet Caroline”. Owing to it’s association particularly more recently with the English ladies international football team, today it’s a regular request that Trev receives in many places he performs at
Closest Thing To Crazy National Trust Cornwall
Here at the National Trust’s Trelissick House in the heart of Cornwall, Trev had the opportunity to play on this 1912 Broadwood grand piano. Bearing in mind this instrument is well over 100 years of age it is still capable of delivering a stunningly rich tone. Here that tone can be heard in an arrangement of Mike Batt’s song made famous through Katie Melua’s performance if it “The Closest Thing To Crazy”
Chariots Of Fire Bradnich Church
At St Disen’s Church in the heart of Bradninch can be found this superb Yamaha Boudoir Grand Piano. Trev plays an arrangement of Vangelis’ “Chariots of Fire” to demonstrate some of the huge dynamic range and capability of this wonderful instrument.
My Heart Will Go On Bicton Inn Exmouth
Here Trev plays this Celine Dion classic featured in the blockbuster film “Titanic”. The piano here, (one of the best to be found on the pub circuit) is a 1958 Broadwood Parisienne model and is a lovely instrument to play a lyrical piece such as this
Christmas At Seven Stars Kennford
A gig here at the Seven Stars at Kennford in Devon just a few miles South West of Exeter. Towards the end of a four hour session things began to get pretty wild. This clip shows just how well a gig can go if it is promoted and everybody gets behind the concept of the pub piano. Looking forward to getting back to the Seven Stars for some more amazing sessions just like this one in the near future.
Sing Alongs At Commercial Inn Bridgwater
Here Trev plays many sing along melodies at a gig in brigwater. The sing alongs include “A long way to Tipperary”, “My Old Man said Follow the Van”, ” Run Rabbit Run”, “Roll Out the Barrel”, “I’ve Got a Lovely Bunch Of Coconuts”, and finally “I Do Like to be Beside the Seaside”. This is a fine demonstration proving that the Pub Piano is still a great form of entertaining in any pub.
Accelerator Rag Bishops Blaze Exeter
Here Trev plays the Accelerator Rag. For those of you who like fast piano music this (at the end) is about as fast as left hand stride gets!
Buddy Holly At Bicton Inn Exmouth
This was taken when Trev tried out a wonderful Broadwood piano at the Bicton Inn, Exmouth. It is a Buddy Holly medley consisting of “Peggy Sue”, “Rave On” and finishing with “Oh Boy”. As a result of this the landlady Alison hired him on the spot and to this day he still plays at The Bicton Inn on a regular basis
Teign Brewery in Teignmouth
Here we have a medley being played on a piano very near to the end of it’s life. What started as an Elton John tune quickly changed due to customer demand. “Crocodile Rock”, followed briefly by “Candle in the Wind” before the customers requested “Delilah”. This was a job Trev had playing for an 80th birthday and it goes to show just how well a pub session can go on pub parties
Monty Python At Kings Arms Winkleigh
From a gig Trev had in Winkleigh, here he plays the Monty Python classic “Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life” This is always a good one to play towards the end of the evening.
Buccaneers Bar in Crediton
This Stephen Foster medley includes “Camptown Races”, “Oh Dem Golden Slippers” and “Oh Susannah”. A lot of fun here especially speeding up towards the end.
Black Horse in Braunton
Here Trev plays a medley consisting of the following: “Oh What a Beautiful Morning” from Oklahoma, followed by “Sixteen going on Seventeen” from The Sound Of Music before concluding with “We Ain’t Got Dames” from South Pacific.
Leaping Salmon in Horrabridge
Here Trev plays the Elton John classic “Your Song” at the Leaping Salmon. This is in the picturesque village of Horrabridge which lies about halfway between Tavistock and Plymouth.
Performance at Cyder Presse
Here Trev plays the song “You’ll Never Walk Alone” from Rodger’s and Hammerstein’s Carousel. It was an off the cuff request made by some massive Liverpool fans.
Eyre Court Hotel in Seaton
Here Trev plays a medley consisting of “Alexander’s Ragtime Band”, (A 1911 classic by Irving Berlin) followed by “Swanee” (the 1917 first composition hit by George Gershwin) before finishing off with the Stephen Foster’s classic “Swanee River.”

A rendition of “Somewhere over the Rainbow” followed by “We’ll meet again” on Trev’s 1973 Broadwood at home.
White Hart at Chillsworthy in Cornwall
A medley here filmed in sepia with the commentary on the screen describing what Trev is doing as he does it.
Care Home Work
Trev takes the art of the pub piano into nursing homes where it gives a wonderful piece of nostalgia to many of the residents too. The interactive style encourages the guests to take part, getting them to search their memories to ask for a particular piece of music that they may want to hear. Although very much a great form of entertainment it also acts as a valuable piece of therapy for anybody who has Alzheimer’s disease or any of the many other forms of dementia.
Many of the care homes Trev has worked in, all seem to benefit tremendously through his input and consequently many choose to have Trev visit them for a pub piano performance on a monthly basis.
