The songs are:-

1. Along the Beach
2. Valley Carol

These recordings were made by Mark Tucker in Burton Bradstock School during 1996. Singers and musicians from Burton Bradstock School were led by David Powell on guitar. The website for Burton Bradstock includes information on the history of the area and also recordings of the original poems that served as the inspiration for the songs. These are read by Douglas Northover himself. Here you may also listen to an interview with Douglas' widow, Georgie Northover by David Powell which sheds further light on how Douglas and Georgie came to live in Burton Bradstock.
