PRESS RELEASE

For Immediate Release:

A Call to Break 
The Guinness World Records 
& 
Ring Those Bells for the Environment

Award winning musician and tireless environmental campaigner Chris McKhool
is sending out 
a call to make Guinness World Records history on Sat May 24 for the Largest
Bicycle Bell Ensemble

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----

At high noon on Saturday May 24 at Toronto's Yonge-Dundas Square, Chris
McKhool, together with the Green Toronto Festival, are set to break a
Guinness World Record for the Largest Bicycle Bell Ensemble to help raise
awareness of environmental issues.

There, McKhool will be performing his trademark Earth, Seas & Air family
concert -- topped off by an irrepressible finale where the public is invited
to join in with their bicycle bells (either separate or attached to their
bikes), and ring them in a resounding chorus for the environment during the
performance of his new song, Walk and Roll (download the song for free at
http://www.fiddlefire.com . If 600 gather to sound those bells, McKhool,
Toronto and Canada as a whole - will break and make a Guinness World
Record!!

"Ever since I was a little kid, I poured through the Guinness Book of World
Records, fascinated by the incredible achievements that we -- everyday,
ordinary people -- can make", says McKhool. "What better way to get the
message across that each of us can make extraordinary things happen in our
daily lives-- and what better cause than the future of the planet itself?!"

McKhool and the City of Toronto are well positioned to break the record last
set in Leipzig, Germany on November 22, 2003 by Professor Jörg Kärger and
503 participants.

If anyone can put the environmental message on the map and down in the GWR
history books, it's McKhool, an Environment Canada Action Award winner,
recipient of the Green Toronto Award of Excellence, multiple winner of the
Parents' Choice Award (U.S.), and cross-Canada performer for over 10 years
of his Earth, Seas & Air children's concerts, reaching almost 1 million
children!! Hailed as a "children's musical star" (National Post) and
Canada's greatest eco-troubadour for young people" (Mississauga Living Arts
Centre), McKhool has also appeared on Mr. Dressup ("his songs succeed!"--
Ernie Coombs), YTV's Treehouse, TVOntario's Crawlspace and the CBC.

This year's Green Toronto Festival will transform Yonge-Dundas Square into a
celebration of all things green! Stroll through more than 100 exhibits of
green products and services, sample locally grown food and enjoy live bands
including McKhool, Sultans of String, & special guest speakers, all in a
car-free environment (Yonge Street will be closed to traffic from Dundas to
Queen).

So join in on the fun -- ring those bells -- and make GWR history!!
