the Bells of St. Mary's Cathedral, Sydney

[Contratrombone64]

Some of you might know this, I ring church bells. And I'm only new at it so just a beginner. I attended practise last night at St. Mary's and took this vid of the ringers in mid swing. I'm not ringing, as I'm holding the camer. Really sorry for the absolute shite sound, but it was from my phone.

enjoy

Change ringing isn't it? Must be fascinating to learn.

Requires a huge amount of concentration (rather like playing the organ does). And a good head for numeric sequences. Finesse of touch and a good sense of humour.

I lived next to a church for several years and always enjoyed the bells. Even the pracises were a delight.

I thoroughly recommend you find your local bell town and learn, Teddles and Margaret. In fact, anyone who's not done this. So incredibly odd and yet so satisfying for so many reasons.
