Musicircus

Here at The White House we are looking forward to participating in the Wells Cathedral School Musicircus which will take place on Saturday 18th June.

Over 400 musicians will participate in the event which will be opened by Michael Eavis at 11am.

Focused on and around the Cathedral Green, the event will include bell ringing, mass choirs, brass on the rooftops and piano serenades under the arches.

And at 12:30 the event will close with a mass rendition of the Beatles classic “All you need is love”

Watch out for us on the cathedral green – we will be bell ringing and have also been invited into the Cathedral bell tower for the very first time to see the Cathedral bells in action.  Although we are not expert enough to try the Cathedral bells (as you can imagine they are extremely heavy) it is our ambition to progress to these if the event is repeated next year.

Promotion……….

Here at The White House we were pleased to hear that we have been promoted!  No longer will we have to arrive at Pilon Church to practice bell ringing half an hour ahead of the professionals – we are going to join them in the rounds!

Can’t tell you how delighted I am that these lovely poeple think I’m making progress.

And on a similar note, we’ve all penciled in Saturday 18 June 11-13.00 for ringing at The Wwlls Cathedral School Musicircus on Cathedral Green. Although we originally anticipated we would ring the Cathedral Bells at the event, it looks as though we will probably have a mobile set of bells installed on the Green for this as the Cathedral bells themselves are extremely heavy and probably still way beyond us .

So – if you’re around the Green on the day, please say hello
