This one is dedicated to all those working to combat the climate crisis, in particular Bruno Pereira and Dom Phillips who were murdered on 5th June 2022.
This is in memory of John Fox and Jamie Proud, both of whom died recently. It starts with a very spirited rendition of Sorry Bout That by Adrian Mitchell.
The latest news from the Isle of Wight is that we have great hopes that the local team, Richard Hargreaves and Becky Block, will manage to get the bell installed in Yarmouth, on the North coast of the Island, just next to the historic wooden pier. Fingers crossed! The pier is just next to where […]
On February 9 2025 BBC Radio 4 broadcast a half hour documentary, lovingly made by the production company Sound and Bones, that gave a deep insight into the motivation and activities of Marcus Vergette. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0027tdw
Pete Moser: "The world is burning, from Los Angeles to Gaza. When will people connect the wars that they are maintaining and keeping going with the climate crisis? When will they connect?" He follows with a song by Adrian Mitchell, and playing of the bell.
The October 2024 ring, at 12.25 on the 18th. In sadness at the baby who died crossing the channel today, and in hope for the babies who are born and who are going to change the world to a better place.

Pete has dedicated this ring to the International World Day of Peace. Dedicated to all of the aggressors, in all of the wars; just stop.
This month, a stormy high tide, Pete and Beth dedicated the ring to everyone who is suffering from Climate Change.
At the highest tide of March 2024 (at 12.37) Pete dedicated this ring, including trumpet solo, to many many things, particularly standing up to racism, calling out to people across the world.
This month Pete rings the bell in memory of the cockle pickers who died in the disaster 20 years ago. The piece starts with 23 chimes - one for each of the people who died. The highest daytime tide of February 2024 will be at 1 pm on Monday 12th. The event below was held […]
This ringing of the bell is dedicated in memory of all those who have died or been displaced in the war in Gaza. The chimes call for a ceasefire - for Peace.
In terrific weather on September 2, 2023, there was a splendid event to celebrate the installation of the bell. A group of people, many ringing bells of all types, walked from the Man and Boy statue to Breakwater Beach, where the town band gave a terrific performance. Pauline Neal spoke about the meaning of the […]
July 6 2023 marked the end of an extraordinary period of time - about 8 years - for Rob Payne, Liz Dixon and their colleagues in Happisburgh to have been working on getting the bell in place. Their delight that the installation had at last come to pass shines out of the video below, as […]
The beautiful day of Tuesday, June 6 2023 saw, at long last, the installation of the bell. It was a triumph for the sustained effort, over five years, of Pauline Neal and her colleagues, and more recently Chris Bryson. It could not have taken place without a great deal of hard work from the Brixham […]
On a day of glorious weather, May 27 2023, the bell was finally inaugurated - a triumph for Richard Parks, Phil Gadd and colleagues at the Friends of Par Beach. It was a double festivity, because it very deliberately coincided with PAR-teee, organised by our dear friends of Prodigal UPG, who created a rich day […]
April 20, 2023, was a big day on Par Beach! It was the culmination of years of hard work by Richard Parks and his team at the Friends of Par Beach. The complex new structure was carefully placed onto the helical piles that had been bored into the sand. All was done in time for […]
