Kaleidoscope of Characters - Introduction

Acknowledgements

This is my new music project for people of all ages (but mainly children) about characters from the Old Testament. These videos are an ideal way to learn about the Old Testament in a colourful and lively way, and are extremely useful for ministry and educational purposes. The words, available here in large print, have been set to good old fashioned tunes, and nursery rhymes, from the early 16th Century to early 20th Century, which are so familiar with all ages.

CD’s @ £10 and songbooks @ £1.50 are also available and can be obtained by emailing sheilahamil@googlemail.com (p&p £1.50)

This project has been a real team effort, and I would very much like to thank first of all the artists below who have helped me.

I would also like to thank Andrew Ridgewick for his brilliant keyboard playing and for his production and recording skills; Gerry O Hanlon for accompanying us with his bodhran; my mother Bess Bell who very kindly funded this project, and my husband Bob Hamil who took charge of video production.
