Concert St John’s Smith Square (2021)

About Leon Clarke it seems I was wrong to think he was a mini boy on the left of the stage other sources say he was on the right.

So, is Leon the one staring at my camera in photo (6) ?

Given that IF, is a reflective and thoughtful song, I wonder "IF" it benefitted from ever so slightly lower energy levels from Daniel w. His second performance of IF last year was also the better one...

I think that boy is Hal Avery.

Sorry but I have removed this post for reasons of privacy for the performers.

Hi all

Can I ask that we stop referring to the incident in the second show yesterday.

I know that we were all concerned and that there is no ill intent from anybody that has posted, but please remember that they are children. A boy had to leave the stage because he felt unwell.

I may edit the posts to remove references to what happened - I don't want to cause offence but I want to be considerate of the privacy of the performers.

Thanks. Hopefully we'll be able to match the new names with the new faces soon.

Yep, that’s Hal. I’ll never forget his first appearance at only six years old in Arundel in 2019

No time for review for me, currently packing to free the hotel room.vWhy do you want a review while you will enjoy the full concert in video soon ? M The review would spoil you everything

Because I lack patience as well as the other virtues

Thanks! Always good to see how much the choristers seem to enjoy themselves at these shows after all the work and dedication they put in.

A question for those who attended: in what way did you sense the historic moment of this being the first Libera concert since Robert passed?
I understand that he was commemorated in a speech and that there was a page dedicated to him in the programme. Were there any other ways in which you felt a collective notion of starting a new chapter for Libera?
It was partly this sense of historic momentum that made me wish I was there, so I’d be interested to hear some experiences in that regard.

I know I'm a little late, but I hope everyone had a great concert! I'm glad to hear they had a decent sized audience, at least for the first performance.

I will be completely honest and say it didn’t feel any different to me personally. I loved the Robert Prizeman tribute and mention in the concert but “If” was his album and so we was hearing his music still all night. I didn’t come away thinking this was a new chapter. I think in May at Ely we will see more adjustments towards the future.



Also my two Pennies worth on the concerts.

I loved both concerts and having two different views for both definitely added to the enjoyment as I picked up stuff I didn’t on the first.



Cum Dederit was my absolute highlight as Dom has such a wonderful presence when he is performing. We are blessed to have a recording of it and I’m positive everybody will be blown away by his performance.



Considering how little live stage performances they now get I throughly enjoyed the shows.


Dom, Luca and Daniel showed us all they are old pros at this and were memorizing all night. Just a joy to watch them perform in both shows.


It’s wonderful to see the new talent coming though and hear new voices and I hope in 2022 we get to see them more than once.
