[Bell Historians] Fwd: Re: BBC Songs of Praise- Bell Ringing Historian/Expert

Apologies for anyone who gets this more than once, or has to intervene to
get it through spam filters.

Please see the correspondence below. Songs of Praise are specifically
looking for a bell historian to do a piece. Would anyone like to volunteer
or suggest someone? Probably direct to me (I follow bell historians on
digest) and ASAP please - I have told the researcher that I'll try to get
back to him by Thursday 26/2.

Cheers

Giles

 Hello Giles,

 Thank you very much for your email. Funnily we are actually filming with
the Liverpool Cathedral bell ringers for our film already! We were hoping
to see if there was an extra historian/expert who could talk to us about
the history of bell ringing as well as Len and the bell ringers.

 Thank you and kind regards,

 *Rob Barstow*

  Dear Rob

The best people to talk to would be Jeff Simcox or Len Mitchell who are the
ringing master and secretary respectively of the cathedral ringers. I've
copied them into this email so hopefully you can make contact.

Cheers

Giles

bell ringing at Liverpool Cathedral on Saturday 21 March and we are looking
for a bell ringing historian/expert who our presenter Aled Jones can
interview. The film will be focusing on the use of Church bells as a form
of time-keeping in the past (for example calling people for prayer etc). It
is filmed at Liverpool Cathedral as it has the largest peal of bells in the
world.
