THE peel of Christ Church's bells have travelled to Belgium.

Sales of the choir's CD, called Skyline Sounds, have hit the roof, say organisers.

And some of the 420 copies sold have ended up in Antwerp.

All profits from the album will be go to the Skyline Appeal. The church spire could soon topple unless urgent repairs are done.

Green netting is holding it together until contractors can begin work. The church built by Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1851 needs around £1.5 million to guarantee its long-term future. The appeal was set up three years ago.

Delighted organist Tim Eyles, who recorded the album, said: "We are very pleased with the sales so far.

"Our choir members have been working hard to sell the copies. One member recently sang in Belgium where he managed to sell a few."
