Libera on UK Radio Dec 8, 2013

Post by Lauren »

Libera just tweeted,
"On our way to do some early morning radio shows...stay tuned!" and

"Make sure you tune in to many BBC stations around the UK this morning, including York and Sheffield for Libera interviews."

So if you live in the UK, make sure to listen for them. And please record it for the rest of us to hear! :lol:

So far we have found them on West Midlands, York & Merseyside. Jimmy captured a couple:


Radio Interviews

I found this Merseyside starting at 2:21:35 (needs capturing as will only last a week).

#edited to add#

BBC Newcastle starting about 2:52:40

BBC Derby nice background intro at 1:36:15 and interview with Kav & Cassius at 1:47:00

They were due to appear on BBC Jersey but due to live radio the host connected to the wrong studio! They did make it to Guernsey though 1:07:10 and we learn Cassius is named for the great boxer himself.

BBC Cornwall 1:30:20

BBC Oxford 1:23:30

BBC Solent 2:23:05

BBC Wiltshire have recorded their interview to air "on a Sunday morning between now and Christmas".

I've uploaded some of the interviews so far; you can listen to them at http://www.chirbit.com/JimmyRiddle

Thanks Yorkie and other's on twitter, although I have been going through the radio programs too, some of your time links have helped greatly! They sure were busy this morning!

P.S. although the interviews tend to follow the same path, there's some interesting insights to each one and a little nice banter between them.

Good team work Jimmy - you can record them for posterity as these links will only last for a week on iPlayer

Yep, taking a break now though - I think my favourites were the Guernsey & Newcastle interviews, and just to make sure you've all been doing your homework, what did Cassius say he 'might' like to be when he get's older?

...and BBC Norfolk...

All done now, even the stations which didn't carry an interview played songs and mentioned the CD/DVD so it really was a nationwide campaign by Libera today, to gain some awareness. BBC Wiltshire mentioned the boys will be interviewed in the coming weeks, so perhaps still some mopping up to do.

Jimmy, thank you for posting these interviews. I had a chance to listen to a couple of them. Kavana, Cassius and Jude express themselves well in conversations with presenters, perhaps another incentive for parents to encourage their sons to audition for this group; the training and experience that these boys receive in presenting themselves to people all over the world, skills that can be useful when they are branching out into the worlds of higher education and work.

Just to comment on Kavana's remark on radio Guernsey that his is "a made-up name—a magical name:" Kavana is a well-known name in India, for either a boy or a girl. It means "poem." That's pretty magical.

Can also mean café (Bosnian), catapult (Malayalam), water (Hindi) and in Hebrew refers to concentration or awareness of God when praying.

At one point many years ago wasn't it said that Kavana was a Welsh name?

Thanks for posting these guys. I enjoyed listening to them.
My favorite was definitely BBC Guernsey, that interviewer
was a riot.
