Sou ' Westers Handbell Ensemble Presents 'Ringing For Gold'Running Time: 2 Hours 30 Minute (Including a 30 Minute Break
Tickets : General Admission £10. Under 19's £3
All tickets include a £1.50 Booking Fee
Special effects and exciting visuals will accompany the mellow
sounds of traditional handbells in this concert featuring 30
ringers with more than 200 handbells and handchimes.
Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the formation of the South
West Region of the Handbell Ringers of Great Britain (HRGB),
there will be ringers from almost every county in the region,
from Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset, Wiltshire,
Gloucestershire and as far away as Oxfordshire.
This diverse group, the ‘Sou’westers’, get together each month
in Taunton to play music that their own, smaller, teams are
unable to tackle; many of the ringers are themselves
conductors or leaders of handbell teams so this is their
opportunity to actually play the bells themselves!
Their handbell repertoire is wide and their selection for this
concert is likely to include music by composers as varied as
Henry Mancini, Dmitri Shostakovich and Snow Patrol. Pieces
written specially for handbells will contrast with music from the
shows and films such as ‘Lord of The Rings’ and ‘Aladdin’ with
fun pieces such as the ‘Banana Boat Song’ and many more.
