Other groups that were represented but didn't play a solo included Barn Bells and Perran Rebells. Forour solo pieces we played Orange Juice and Somewhere Over The Rainbow. We were well received and I think we did ourselves proud. The other groups came and spoke to us about our playing style as it is a little different to the norm! At the end we did a play through of each of the massed ringing pieces. We were asked to play Orange Juice again!! They obviously liked it. We had a good fun day and we look forward to reading he write up in the next edition of Reverberations.
