Take a radio with you.

LOL....classic....but true.:)

[buster38]

i was thinking of doing that but i have a program on my computer where i can add things to recordings, EG: fireworks and so on, that is why i am looking for a recording of big ben and of course the countdown.

[Ricesnaps]

There's a guy who sells an MP3 file via ebay each year with that very thing on it and with a "welcome to 2007" or indeed I would hope "2008" this year.

Well worth the £1.50!

Or music for celebrations CD by Dennis Hayward on Savoy Records.

Ultimate the stand people do what yoy are loking for on a cd with lots of christmas n/y stuff TONYTIGER

[Corabar Steve]

Check Images web site they stock virtually all the DJ only ranges (Mastermix etc...) there are at least 3 discs that I know of that they stock which contain both Big Ben & Auld Lang Syne

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Mastermix New Year is what you need.

There are several versions of Auld lang syne and several countdowns.

Or you could try the bbc sound effects cd's!

INTERESTING FACT OF THE DAY:

Big Ben is NOT the name of the building, but the nickname for the bell inside.

The actual building is simply called "The Clock Tower"

:)

[PropellerHeadCase]

You could always chop out the Big Ben chime from Faithless 'Insomnia'.

And it was made here!

:)

Which is why it's possible for Big Ben to strike 12

BTW it's the clock tower of the Palace of Westminster

yes this has it on, but is it chime one that denotes midnight or chime 12?

Everybody seems to go for 12, although I think it is actually the first.

Did you know that if you stood at the foot of the tower listening to a live braodcast of the chimes you would actually hear them on the radio before you heard them live, due to the speed of sound compared to the speed of radio waves.

Here are some more facts (http://www.britainexpress.com/London/Big_Ben.htm) on Big Ben......very interesting.:)

I agree first bell...:)

[Corabar Steve]

It is also possible to hear thirteen chimes if you listen to the radio a certain distance away, as the second to twelth broadcast chimes mask the first to eleventh live ones & you only hear the 12th (13th chime) live
