My main hobby (apart from cycling!) is bell ringing, in particular the English art of change ringing. This usually involves ringing sets of bells to follow mathematical patterns, with each person ringing one bell in the set, normally in a church tower. This can also be performed using handbells, the advantage being that they are more portable and so we can practice where ever we like, normally in the privacy of somebodies home.
However, through an unusual series of events, a group of us from Cambridge were asked to perform some change ringing on handbells at the Early Music Festival in Utrecht last weekend, with the highpoint being the "warm up" act for a performance in a 1,700 seat hall being broadcast on Dutch radio!
Here is a a recording of the performance, it was certainly a very surreal and amazing experience that I will never forget!
