Not without blemish at tonight's practice but it's been a year after many years of struggles of slow but steady progress #bellringing

Rang some pretty decent plain courses of Bob Doubles last night, some good extra practice #bellringing

Learning The Wedding at Cana with @choiroftheearth.com has been the most amazing journey, just feel totally connected to the music #singing

Grandsire continues to elude me, I just go blank every time a Bob is called but I will keep trying, looking around for more opportunities in 2026 at District Level #bellringing

Really pleased how I rang the Treble to Bob Minor this morning #bellringing

Called some more plain hunt last night and rang some Bob Doubles, would like next year to get out to a few more District events but unsure which ones would suit but will continue to look #bellringing

Good ring at yesterday's district meeting and able to ring Treble for Bob Minor this morning #singing

This week our choir has been learning The Waters of Love. It's achingly beautiful, and a privilege to learn Patrick Hawes work with @benenglandbem.bsky.social at the helm. 🎶 “The waters of love, both human and divine, when mingled create the most beautiful wine”. #fridayfeeling #choralsky

Good attempts at Bob and Grandsire Doubles tonight #bellringing

Very excited to have the chance to sing at Bristol Cathedral and St Georges Chapel Windsor in 2026 #singing

No Santa “Ho ho ho’s” for us just yet, but we are YO ho ho-ing our way into the week with a fun warm up! 🎶 Our Musical Director Ben, lives in Bristol... the home of the pirate voice (Blackbeard was from there you know!) & as Ben says, it’s amazing what the voice can do when you distract the brain

Managed to call go and stop for Plain Hunt 5 on three different bells tonight #bellringing

Continued to fall in love with The Wedding at Cana during @choiroftheearth.com rehearsals this week #singing

Called some nice changes on six tonight #bellringing

Not a bad effort tonight, did not need help with the Bob Doubles, Grandsire a little better and a good go on the Treble to Bob Minor #bellringing

Our latest choral course, The Wedding at Cana, is in week 3 & we are so very lucky to be getting insights along the way from the Composer himself, Patrick Hawes. 🎶 Here’s a peek at Movement 4, in our All Choir rehearsal yesterday. Wait until the end for the exquisite voice of Lucy Cox. #ChoralSky

Called go and stop for some Plain Hunt tonight from different bells, found calling from the Tenor a little challenging but managed it #bellringing

After a moving service at church it's off to The Royal Albert Hall to sing Messiah with The Really Big Chorus tonight #singing

Rang the Treble to Grandsire Doubles and some Plain Hunt 7 half muffled for Remembrance Sunday this morning #bellringing

Busy one again this weekend, Bachs Christmas Oratorio Workshop Parts 1 & 2 on Saturday, ringing and singing for Remembrance Sunday Service Sunday A.M and then The Really Big Chorus Messiah Sunday Evening at the Royal Albert Hall #singing

Our technical team @choiroftheearth.com are the best in the business, so glad to have been able to add my voice to Mozarts Kyrie in D Minor, the end result was superb #singing

That went better tonight, decent touch of Bob Doubles and trying to get to grips with Grandsire #bellringing

The Wine Gave Out is another stand-out moment in our latest course, The Wedding at Cana by Patrick Hawes. Here’s a little peek at our All Choir rehearsal yesterday, as our Musical Director @benenglandbem.bsky.social toasts the moment with a double water and of course, a sing through! 🎶 #ChoralSky

Able to catch up on Tutti, Week 2 The Wedding at Cana @choiroftheearth.com latest course last night, already in love with the peace as I think we all are, thanks as ever @benenglandbem.bsky.social for your teaching #singing

Would have liked to have rang something slightly more difficult last night but kept the treble steady for Bob Doubles and rang some Plain Hunt 6 #bellringing

Rang a touch of Bob Doubles for the service this morning, one small slip otherwise quite good #bellringers

Looking forward to singing the Faure Requiem at St James Paddington in an hours time #singing

Really enjoyed @choiroftheearth.com teaching by @benenglandbem.bsky.social this week, love the challenge of learning something brand new to me #singing

A real treat for us this weekend! Patrick Hawes has been chatting about The Wedding at Cana & his feelings about Choir of the Earth learning & recording a new version of his beautiful work. Patrick shares stories of his career highlights too. Listen to the conversation here: youtu.be/BUYw96Ge5qU?...

But of a frustrating night, Grandsire was a disaster, although only my 2nd attempt with bobs, Bob Doubles was really good until I had a brain freeze at the end, Treble to Bob Minor slowly getting better, dust myself down and carry on #bellringing

Make history with us! 🎶 Join Choir of the Earth to be the first to learn a revised edition of The Wedding at Cana by Patrick Hawes, through 7 weeks of online rehearsals, & be part of the world premiere recording of this beautiful work. Discover more: choiroftheearth.com/courses/wedd... #choralsky

Some decent plain courses of Bob Doubles to start the weeks ringing #bellringing

Pleased to have the opportunity to sing services at Chelmsford Cathedral this weekend #singing

Sound up for some truly beautiful music, as we count down to the Tuesday launch of our new course, The Wedding at Cana by Patrick Hawes. One of the highlights is going to be learning its central movement, The Waters of Love. Patrick says it "reflects on the presence of the divine in human love".

Fantastic revision session with @benenglandbem.bsky.social for Messiah Parts 2 and 3 this week #singing
