We are delighted to present this special recording of Dr Ian Cassells’ recital on the carillon of St John’s Kirk, performed on Wednesday 30th October, 2024. This unique programme, themed Children’s Classics, brings together a delightful selection of well-loved melodies, evoking the nostalgia of childhood and the joy of simple, timeless tunes.

Dr Cassells, who has served as Perth City Carillonneur since 1995, has carefully compiled and arranged this charming selection. The programme includes familiar favourites such as Hickory Dickory Dock, Girls and Boys Come Out to Play, How Much is That Doggie in the Window and Sweet Polly Oliver, each adapted to showcase the rich tones of the Kirk’s magnificent carillon.

Whether you are listening as a long-time admirer of the carillon or discovering its magic for the first time, we hope you enjoy this enchanting musical journey through childhood classics, brought to life by the skill and dedication of Dr Cassells.
