Ringing in the rain


Monday 23 April 07

3 musicians on museum balcony

If you could hear ringing in your ears while walking round Liverpool city centre over the last hour then don't worry, you haven't got tinnitus. As Karen explained last week, bellringers across the city have been celebrating the reopening of St George's Hall with a symphony of bells.

Here are our 3 musicians on the balcony above World Museum Liverpool's entrance. Their scrap metal bells may not look like the traditionally shaped ones you'd see on a Christmas card, but trust me, they're very loud!

Happy St George's Day.

Update 24 April: there are now a few more pics from yesterday in a St George's Day bells slideshow on Flickr.
