Wakefield

The Bagpuss Theme on autoharp, because I had nothing more worth while to do on a Sunday morning and because I wanted to try this one out for a while.

Bagpuss Theme

Improvisational original composition out in the field

Gordale Beck

Rough cut of a tune I wrote in 2010 about a Cornishman called Arthur from Botallack who used to feed the badgers. When he died, people turned up to his funeral wearing a woolly hat.

The Badgers~With Mitzy

An original composition by Guy Padfield on autoharp

Corina

Recorded in Shipley Church, West Sussex on a tape recorder. About W.H. Hudson, the Victorian field naturalist and founder member of the RSPB who wrote of the South Downs. This song is from his point of view imagining a scene from his Book Nature in Downland as he sat during a service at Bishopstone Church thinking about Rev James Hurdis, a former Vicar of that church who wrote "poor poetry" according to Hudson, but there is a sense of sentimentality towards Hurdis. The lyrics also mention Hudson's wife Emily. She died before him and he had the words of Bishop King of Chichester put on her stone..."I will not fail to meet thee in that hollow vale."

Hollow Vale

The Cafe

Heart To Harp. Written and played by Guy Padfield on chromatic autoharp. A rough version recorded several years ago. Inspired by where many old autoharps end up and my niece Caitlin, who was a fine player at an early age.

The Novice

The little girl across the road seemed very interested in my sunflowers. I promised her some seeds but had a feeling she would move away before I could give them to her. It came to pass. So this is part truth part fantasy. Guy Padfield©2016
