He’s a rock star who has toured the world and worked with some of the biggest stars in music, but now former Pink Floyd bassist Guy Pratt wants to “properly embrace village life” with his new hobby – bell ringing.
Pratt moved near Alfriston, East Sussex, three years ago and discovered bell ringing sessions at St Andrews Church.
The 64-year-old said: “Bell ringing really struck a chord, I thought that’s a really wonderful thing to do being part of the community and it’s musical. I’m a terrible worrier of things dying out, so I thought I’d come and try it out.”
The musician replaced Pink Floyd’s original bassist Roger Waters in 1987 and worked on the iconic band’s final album to consist of entirely new material, The Division Bell.
