The Inn Ringers 2007 : LATEST NEWS

 

At the Inn Ringers AGM held in January – the team agreed to the appointment of Paul Mellor as their permanent conductor. Paul initially took over the role following the resignation of Steve Ciavucco in December 2005. Paul was one of the original Inn Ringers back in 1977 and has been a member of the team for much of their 30 years together.

 

The Inn Ringers 30^th Anniversary concert was a great success – guests for the evening were Vicky Johnson-Phillips performing three solo pieces on the clarinet and Matthew Johnson provided a performance on the Xylophone. A team of ex-Inn Ringers came together to play two pieces which were conducted by Steve Ciavucco – several members of the ex-ringers hadn’t rung a bell for over 25 years.

 

The Inn Ringers are proud to have recorded their second album to celebrate their 30^th anniversary. The album is a collection of pieces from their Christmas repertoire – over the years their concert audiences have requested a recording of their Christmas material so the team decided to record their Christmas tunes on one album.

The album was recorded in July at Orchard Studios in Cheshire and will be released at the Heart of England Handbell Rally on 13^th October.

Details of the album on included on a separate web page.

 

The Inn Ringers have been instrumental in the setting up of a new handbell society. The Heart of England Handbell Society was formed in October 2006 at an informal rally in Harvington, Eveshall, Worcestershire. The aim of the society is to unite the handbell teams across the Midland region. To date several events have taken place – their first annual dinner – a special practice afternoon for 5 octaves of bells – and the next rally will be held in Stone organised by the host team The Inn Ringers.
