On a sunny spring day in March a large audience enjoyed a marvellous concert at Maghull by Maghull Parish Handbell Ringers.
On display were many different techniques which added to the texture and diversity of the programme of
Movies and Musicals Music.

Leading up to the concert, Maghull Parish Handbell Ringers were unfortunately moved out of their regular practice room, the Remy Room, as Maghull Council had to use it whilst repairs were being carried out on their Town Hall. Fortunately the dance class in the hall agreed to alter their sessions so that handbell practices could take place in the hall.

The programme consisted of :

The Pirates of the Caribbean Theme

Favourite Things from the Sound of Music

Theme from The Lord of the Rings

Lion King Medley

Phantom of the Opera

Hallelujah from Shrek

The Muppets Theme

A Medley of Les Misérables music

Beth explained how the money raised would go towards replacing a cracked "E" bell.

She thanked past members and conductor, Judith Barker who had helped set up the team.
In the interval, refreshments were served on the stage even though the tea room was out of action.

A raffle was held and Jocie and Issie performed an excellent double act drawing out the numbers. A challenging Movie Quiz also taxed the audience’s memory and set the mood for the concert.

Afterwards, people were invited up to look at the bells and the music and ask questions.
