HANDBELL Ringers join the Campaign for ST.GEORGE’S DAY

This was the first year that the Handbell Ringers of GB joined the Campaign to help get England ringing for ST.GEORGES’S DAY.  There were three concerts held across the country : In Hagley in Worcestershire, Thaxted in Essex, and Great Ryburgh in Norfolk  where they performed together with other musicians. They also used the 400th Anniversary of William Shakespeare to add to the evening’s entertainment by quoting his plays or setting his work to music.  They all received interest from both BBC Regional Radio shows and local newspapers which was excellent.
