The Bells, The Bells, Listen to the Bells on Monday

The city centre should be a bit noisy on Monday afternoon as 'a cacophony of sound from the bells of the city' takes place from 13.40 onwards - Monday April 23 2007. Its part of St George's day and Liverpool's 800th anniversary and the re-opening of St George's Hall etc.

1.40pm-2.40pm – Symphony for St George - Liverpool Symphony of Bells
On leaving the Hall, His Royal Highness will be invited to ring eight bells to start the city-wide symphony which incorporates all major church, civic bells as well as ships’ bells and cannon – including the deepest sounding bell in the UK – Great George in Anglican Cathedral. The bell ringing will not be traditional English “change-ringing� but specially composed music by Spanish bells expert - Llorenç Barber.

World Museum Liverpool is getting involved by playing host to three musicians who will be stationed on the balcony just above the main entrance on William Brown Street. They'll be playing beer-barrel sized 'bells', constructed from scrap metal and hanging from a small scaffold. If you're in the vicinity keep an eye out for them.

But Liverpool Cathedral says 3.00pm!
Venue: Liverpool Cathedral and other bell chambers of the city
Time: 3.00pm
