Re: Concert St John’s Smith Square (2021)

Ouch. Even if self isolating is not required I would find it crazy to maintain the concert if any of the boys has been found positive to the virus in the days preceeding the concert. I would find it disrespectful for the audience since the boys could be contaminated even if the tests were negative ...

Re: Concert St John’s Smith Square (2021)

So, if you were in charge, would you tell choirs such as Libera to not meet in person for the next few months and cancel everything, or do you have something else in mind? I'm not sure I understand the point you are trying to make. I'm simply saying the concert will not be stopped by a government l...

Re: Once an Angel video

I've wondered for some time whether the song was written in reference to a particular person. I've come to the conclusion that Anne Frank herself might have been the inspiration for this song in the same fashion that "If" was inspired by her. What do you think? I don't claim to know the i...

Re: New Album "If" (Oct 2021 release)

I think something similar happened with "Danny boy" and Isaac London ? That he sang it by himself and then it became part of the official repertoire ? But I am unsure. It's also a much more common song for a choir to sing. I don't recall any such story - but it would be interesting if tru...

Re: RIP Robert Prizeman

Does anyone have any idea what this is referring to? Choirsturbances? That movie which from descriptions online has nothing to do with choirs at all? I tried googling about these things, but found nothing so maybe someone can shed some light. Found this: Screen Shot 2021-10-09 at 10.29.00 AM.png

Re: Oliver Mycka

Thought it was time to pay Oliver a small tribute, as he seems to have left the choir. I think the Christmas concert in 2019 was his last appearance. I loved witnessing his development as the soloist of Stay With Me. That song will remain ‘his song’, as far as I’m concerned. He sang it for a really...

Re: New Album "If" (Oct 2021 release)

This is such a great catchy tune and I absolutely love it but the video is weird. I am surprised they didn’t just do a lyric video as the boys are not actually singing this song and it just looks confusing when listening to it but the boys are mouthing something completely different. Must be someth...

Re: If (Music Video)

The headline on Koji's nespaper would date it as 1924. I don't really understand the symbolism of the video, but it seems to fit the song - the performance of which is outstanding. Someone described it as "heartbreakingly beautiful" which seems apt. Certainly brought a tear to my eye.
