All the bells

Ring in the Olympics! A unique bell-ringing event will soon be taking place nationwide.

Martin Creed, the Turner-prize-winning artist and musician, was commissioned by the Cultural Olympiad to create a piece to welcome the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

‘Work No. 1197: All the bells in a country rung as quickly and as loudly as possible for three minutes’ by Martin, a former attender at Glasgow Meeting, will be performed throughout the UK on Friday 27 July, between 8:12am and 8:15am.
