Exbury Gardens - a silent film - Hampshire Guitar Orchestra

A bit of fun from Hampshire Guitar Orchestra (HAGO)...

A visit to Exbury Gardens, a camera and too much time on our hands...

For all you steam enthusiasts, and especially for those of you who remember Casey Jones on TV, here's a silent film of the Exbury Railway, crammed into the exact time that it takes to play Casey Jones.

Keep your eyes peeled - there are some animal sculptures in this video - made from moss...

HAGO played the backing music at their Chichester Concert with Amanda Cook and West Sussex Guitar Club, on a freezing cold day in January 2004, so it's a live recording, no retakes, no tricks, pure HAGO.

Even better than the Steam Railway at Exbury are the Gardens when they're at the finest - check out the colours in our slideshow here on YouTube at

This arrangement of Casey Jones (by our Musical Director Derek Hasted) features all four sizes of Classical Guitar that HAGO uses, from the tiny alto to the massive contra, together with the piccolo cabasa that does the steam train effects...

Hampshire Guitar Orchestra - proud to live in Hampshire!
And always looking for new players too....
