The St Paul's Pineapple band ringing for the 2022 London 12 Bell Competition held this year at St Paul's Cathedral, London. This band finished fourth out of the ten teams, and were behind St Paul's Dome, the Society of Royal Cumberland Youths, and ASCY Marchbank who came first with whopping score of 92%! Well done!
The bells here are a 61cwt ring of twelve cast in 1878 by John Taylor and Co. They join a pre harmonic era of Taylor bells such as Imperial College and many more. They produce a loud and characterful sound that no one can describe, but when rung suit they surroundings beautifully! The tenor has that fabulous Taylor bellow to it and all of the bells match incredibly well! Hear is a full recording of the test piece which was 257 Stedman Cinques! Very musical to listen to! Also apologies if their is wind noise, the weather and atmosphere cause a few issues here and there! Anyway enjoy the true majesty of these bells!
