Anyone have a good estimate as to when the concert will end? Not including any after-concert pub visits. :lol:

For some reason I just can't remember how long they have normally been.

So typical, I need to wake up in 1,5 hours and I'm just starting to take a proper look into how I'm going to get to Guildford and back. :lol:

//Ah well, looks like the last train to Waterloo leaves at 23:39. So it should be fine.

Sitting in the plain for London but we have to wait up to 40 minutes for starting. The reason: strong Wind at London, so this will delay my travel for one hour. Well, i hope that in this case we will have a more friendly weather tomorow for queing.

Unfortunately, there is no change in the weather outlook for Saturday afternoon. Still they have predicted rain. :(

Remember to bring your brolly, maybe Yorkie will treat us with a nice colorful one :lol:

Seems like the stage is set way back from the first row.

Maybe that's needed so the musicians don't block the view?

That's pretty impressive for a UK Cathedral concert - I hope the majority of them turn up and fill those seats.

Yuki just announced on twitter the return of Liam, Daniel F, Ralph so could have good fulsome lower voice support for the trebles tonight. The Ave Verum 'V' should sound and look very impressive...Now doubly gutted I'm not there lol

:shock: Is this a record number of newbies? I was only slowly getting to know the last batch but this way I'll never keep up, lol

Also, in hindsight - was St George's last year Josh' last performance as chorister?

For now ofcourse enjoy the show (that's happening while I'm typing this...)!

Looks like a whole bunch of the newbies are the younger brothers of some of the veteran choristers! That's always nice to see. There's a third Collins brother, too; is that a record number of siblings in the choir? Has there ever been 3 boys from the same family in Libera at the same time?

I've never heard of so many newbies gathered all in one place.

As for Josh, for now that is correct. If they can find a white robe that fits him
though...... :lol:
