Re: The Joy of Libera's Descants

I agree with Yorkie, the present group is comprised of an exceptional set of boys with Thomas D-L as the best example. He may seem disenfranchised, but in concert his pokerface hides his professionalism. Not only does he do the descants as one of the best I know of, but during concerts I see him tak...

Re: Libera tours: unexpected encounters

Yes I had something similar in Guernsey in 2012. I went to see a newly arranged small textile museum in a building adjacent to the hall they were going to perform in. I was in the entrance hall when suddenly all of Libera came barreling down the stairs from the cafeteria upstairs. I was suddenly eng...

Re: Libera - Christmas in Ireland

The dvd and the cd are back in stock with Amazon UK, I just received my order. It seems they even have a store here in The Netherlands which makes for a speedy delivery. No internet site yet and I could not find even a telephone number or email address.

Re: Christmas Concert in St George, London, Thursday 28/11/2

I think RP must have a lot of faith in those two lads and they surely didn't let him down.[/quote] He has a lot of faith and not only in these boys. I spoke to him on Saturday and he said he has at present a group with a lot of talent available. This I found confirmed on Sunday where not only Thomas...

Re: Libera - Christmas in Ireland

I despair sometimes... I know, I know - it is amazing that some people are too stupid to understand how the world works. I may leave him a comment later. I bet there is a 50/50 chance that on any given day he steps out of the house with his trousers on the wrong way round..... I do not understand, ...

Re: Libera - Christmas in Ireland

Both the cd and the dvd are very well produced. Especially the dvd is to be liked, it gives you so much more to see than when you are there in the concert. Especially from the high cameras. Also viewing the dvd I appreciated the lighting much more than during the concert. Being there you have your a...

Re: New Philippines tour announced

Already tonight, Sunday, the Philippines blog is up on the Libera site. Must be the fastest blog ever! Furthermore, could somebody please post a good scan of the programm with the faces of the boys on it, so I can learn them again before London. Also if somebody has located the poster for the London...

Re: Libera - Christmas in Ireland

I tried to vote for the third round and got some Offerpops nonsense pop up on me that I had to agree on. That I will not do of course. Does that happen to everybody or is it just my computer playing tricks.

Re: New Philippines tour announced

Thanks very much John. I am so looking forward to London, meanwhile it is very nice reading about the adventures of the boys in the east. Indeed not really a Christmas programme only. I hope they do the Philippine songs in London too.

Re: Libera - Christmas in Ireland

I am sorry to have to disagree. I never liked Have yoursef etc very much, and despite his best efforts Michael did not change my mind. It is just to high and even the highest reaching boys can barely reach it without forcing themselves. But even if they would bring it down an octave or so I would no...

Re: Christmas Concert in St George, London, Thursday 28/11/2

Well if I did make it, I would be a tad disappointed if 'Danny Boy' didn't make the set list after hearing the snippets in the promo DVD. However with it being a full blown 'Christmas Concert' it might not. Josh teamed up very well with Ralph on Veni a few years back, it turned out to be one of the...

Re: Libera - Christmas in Ireland

Hi Johan, The commission Libera makes via Amazon is negligible. Libera nearly always have some CD's and DVD's for sale at their UK concerts - at the 2011 St George's they were selling the first Christmas album - and they will make far more from those sales than they will via Amazon. I think Mr Phili...

Re: Libera - Christmas in Ireland

Good news for WNED viewers, October does feel a bit early for this but that's just me. I think I'll be doing a cloak & dagger dance around the net to avoid all the unofficial sites which will have this concert in full and probably HD before I get the DVD in my hands! And I was hoping you were g...

They may be very efficient with internet, but I got the impression nobody trying to get premium tickets by Phone got any. Am I right??

Re: Christmas Concert in St George, London, Thursday 28/11/2

There should be a cap on the number of premium tickets anybody can order. To buy 4 or more makes it so much harder for other people to get even one. I got my ticket, but it still is something to consider I think. Or go to a larger venue next time, such as Westminster cathedral, no problems for space...
