Matt J, who really shone at Arundel, has progressed further and delivered some perfect performances with real confidence and skill. Still looks way over the audience much of the night He does that all the time and it looks funny but sincere at the same time :) Your comments about him are great, I w...

The summertour 2012 is over. We all enjoyed it, (or at least those present) and marvelled about the choreographies and the light show. But a day or so later and listening to some older songs on my MP3 I started to think. In the old days there was no light show. All pyrotechnics were from the singin...

Well, it is all about balance I think. Time spent on practicing choreography is not spent on practicing the singing. That does not mean they should stand rigid in double files, far from it. There should be a balance there. Also Libera to me is about quality, but as you said rightly also about fun f...

Hello Yorkie, You are reading too much into my little reflexion. Of course a live concert is different from a studio recording and I knew that before coming here. Different is not even always worse either. I just worry a bit that all the attention to choreography and lighting might go at the cost o...

Thanks Yorkie for a nice report. Indeed one of the nice thing about Libera concerts is the opportunity to meet other fans. I enjoyed meeting you again and also Patrick, Martin, Tom and others. This time more than ever Libera proved to be able to not only sing beautifully, but also make a show that c...

Well, here you are and see how subjective the experience can be,

Some final remarks about the Guernsey concerts. As on Jersey the boys went into town to distribute flyers to the public, but I think only on Tuesday. Still the Tuesday concert was less well attended than the Wednesday concert. Of course the known fans were there both days, but not in the numbers we ...

Some notes on the first Guernsey concert. The venue of the Libera concerts in Guernsey is St.James’ Hall. It is not very big, but a beautiful former church, which is easily recognisable as such. Attached to it is a new building which houses several facilities. Compared to Arundel there were no new n...

Some first impressions of the concert tonight. Just short: Of course Faithfull heart of Josh with Matthew Jansen and Thomas and Dyllan was great, as was expected. A surprise for me was Dies Irae with Ciaran as soloist: very good indeed. Also the Gloria this time was great, I did not like that very m...

Well, still a few hours until the concert. The boys were in town this afternoon to ditribute some flyers. The hall is being prepped. It seems all is going to plan. I did not get a flyer, as the lady with the boys, I suppose Mrs. Lewis, told them I had already tickets, she even knew my name, although...

You should have taken a bus

The roads are much too narrow here for busses. I am glad I did not come by car even.

I arrived today, Saturday, in Guernsey. No sign of anything about Libera. I handed out flyers to the passengers of the plane in the departure lounge before leaving Rotterdam, most accepted, some not. Arriving at the hotel I left some at the reception and the rest I put on a counter in the Tourist in...

That must be very special indeed. I remember Josh' solo in November in London as the most beautiful thing I ever heard. And now with Matthew! I am looking forward to this!!!!!!!!!
