I've never understood the complexities of change-ringing, but what I heard last week while singing at Sherborne was mighty nice. Keep up the good work.
Some of the comments on here are quite insulting , this band practice on a Tuesday , with a mixture of learners , and some very dedicated long term ringers . They also turn up on a Sunday and Ring to ' call people to church ' . Anyone whos ever attended a practice night , will tell you they will accomodate , and welcome any Bell Ringer , with open arms . They are really good people , with big hearts , who have time for everyone . So for the advanced , give them a break .
I agree with the comment about ringing them too fast. Bells like this need good "bell control". The tenor is trying to set the pace (rightly so!) but the lighter bells will not let it!
well I like to hink I'm not a sad person...but when I was a Tower captain I wouldn't even let the ringers go off into any method until the rounds were right. If the ringer of the 4th wasn't pulling tongues at the camera instead of his bell the go off might have been better because there were enough people struggling at it was..
wow.....welll if thats the cost of good ringing I hope I never ring a peal with you. Btw.. nice pic of Nottingham Town Hall on yout profile - but there again I'm so sad I shouldn't like nice pics like I like nice ringing should I?

They eventually almost got it!
really nice bells!
The Big 'un in the corner sets the pace!
not the best ringing you say..... understatement of the year I think!

did it occur to any of these people that they might be ringing them too fast?
do they ring all eight on a practice night I was once told they only ring six.
assuming it would be the front six and not just the back lol
I see.
Blimey! Theese sound quite heavy.
what weights the tenor?
46cwt in Bb.

I don't know what you are talking about....
Never ring heavy bells too fast because it never works!
Keep the tenor tight
Or though it appears the tenor is going wide its actually the other ringers ringing too fast, its very hard to keep a heavy tenor going that quickly
@SrWilson3s What his ringing is like is irrelevant. Any fool could could tell they are ringing these too bloody fast!
what shame to see so much bickering over a wonderful art for the glory of god.

this is painful to watch
Awful recording!
