EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we see the village blacksmith, Harry Horrobin, embracing his passion for music as he takes on a second fiddle. At 62 years old, with an impressive 48-year career as a Smithy under his belt, Harry decided to venture into the world of violin making. Little did he know that his creations would soon become highly sought after by professional musicians. With determination and dedication, Harry crafted several violins that quickly gained recognition for their unique sweetness of sound. When asked about the secret behind their enchanting melodies, Harry humbly attributes it to the Somerset air surrounding him during their creation. Captured in this snapshot is Mr. Harry Horrobin himself playing one of his exquisite violins outside in Roadwater, Somerset on a chilly January day in 1975. The image perfectly encapsulates the harmonious blend between man and instrument amidst a rural backdrop. This photograph not only showcases Harry's extraordinary talent but also highlights the unexpected union between two seemingly unrelated professions – blacksmithing and violin making. It serves as a reminder that true artistry knows no boundaries and can flourish even in unlikely circumstances. As we delve into this nostalgic glimpse from the 1970s, we are reminded of how individuals like Mr. Horrobin can leave an indelible mark on our cultural heritage through their unconventional pursuits and unwavering passion for craftsmanship.
