Ken Whiteley is a Canadian roots music legend, a multi award winning songwriter, performer and producer. His musical journey has taken him from jug band, folk and swing to blues, gospel and children's music.

Ken Whiteley & The Beulah Band (Frank Evans, Rosalyn Dennett & co-producer Ben Whiteley) are creating exciting new music that is deeply rooted in traditional North American folk forms. You’ll hear echoes of blues, gospel, swing, string and jug band sounds.

With a voice like a mountain stream, Daniel McKell sings songs for grown-ups who never grew up and kids feeling the weight of the world. Best known for his work with acclaimed Montreal string band Lake of Stew, Daniel now uses his guitar and kazoo to send prayers up in soap bubbles.

THE YURI GAGARIN CONTRABAND is one mans' journey into space. It is a multi-media inspired piece as a live project.   "The Yuri Gagarin Contraband truly is a fascinating and unique little project. It’s the brainchild of Ben Shilling, who effectively puts himself in the mind of the first man to go into space and shares with us his hopes, dreams, nightmares and fears (of which there are many) via an audio-visual medium. Thought-provoking, arty, wonderfully odd and curiously cool, the YGC are wittily and boldly original." PAUL MILLS

"Rosalyn Dennett is a violinist & singer/songwriter, mostly in that order. She plays as a solo performer, as well as being a member of the all-female Roots quartet Oh My Darling. Rosalyn's songs call out from the tallest branch of a lone prairie tree. Her lyrics are a poetic homage to her native flatlands, while the music pines for the Appalachian Mountains and rolling Atlantic waves. Her compositions have been played regularly on CBC and Campus Radio stations across Canada, and her album The Holler, with banjoist Allison de Groot, made the top five on Campus Radio Charts in 2011. Check out her music at www.rosalyndennett.com

As a member of Oh My Darling, Rosalyn has been nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award for Best Roots Album "Oh My Darling" and "Sweet Nostalgia" and has released 3 highly acclaimed full length albums that have all reached the top of the Roots/Folk charts across Canada and Europe. She has performed sold out shows across Europe and Canada including performing for Canada Day onTrafalgar Square in London, UK, Mainstage at the Winnipeg Folk Festival and Tønder Festival (DK), made her US debut performing with Oh My Darling at the Living Room in New York City.  Rosalyn has opened for Tegan & Sarah, and Blue Rodeo with the band Oh My Darling, shared the stage with Tim O'Brien, Dirk Powell, Le Vent du Nord and many more fine artists, and has given FIddle workshops for the European World Of Bluegrass Festival, The Maverick Festival(UK), and the Winnipeg Folk Festival."

Hello and welcome to the Bells of Scotland web resource, which at this point is hosted through Soundcloud.

The purpose of Bells of Scotland is to map the communities of Scotland, through the sounds of their bells.

Within a community the sound of a bell can make someone feel a sense of place and a collection of such sounds could create a collective sense of home for many people.

Such sounds are unique in modern times as they have been unchanged for many decades.

The project receives no funding and is not affiliated with any professional body or organisation and will run for as long as is possible in an effort to accumulate the whole country.

If you are aware of a ringing bell not listed here which you feel should be included, please e-mail; bellsofscotland@gmail.com

"The special sense of a town is formed in part for its inhabitants - and perhaps even in the memory of the traveller who has stayed there - by the timbre and intervals with which its tower-clocks begin to chime." Benjamin, W. 1925-6
