Bunbury bells recorded for the ITV drama Home Fires

Our bells were used as a soundtrack for episodes of the ITV drama series Home Fires that was filmed in Bunbury village and the surrounding area in 2014 and 2015.  The sound engineer attended one of our practice nights to record our regular band.  You can listen below to the recording that was used in that episode.
