Obituary in Today's Telegraph https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/ ... gs-praise/

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.

There is a second picture on Instagram - somehow reminds me of the set of "if" (picture from the digital SJSS programme), what do you think? https://www.instagram.com/p/CR6_OMbs6vo/ I was thinking the same thing. Maybe the "if" video will be released soon. Well the newspaper is ...

Well, we know that Sam was heavily involved in the making of the Christmas album, but he's not credited in any of the songs he arranged. So it's possible that itunes only credited Mr Prizeman for some reason. True! But this information was available in the CD booklet I believe. If not, we definitel...

Out of curiosity, does anyone know how SoP has done comparatively in terms of ratings or viewer share before and after the changes in 2014? In the late 90's it had a viewership of between 5 and 6 million viewers per week but it was on after the Sunday evening news which would be a prime slot. I hav...

At least you got to experience five minutes of a Libera concert - which is more than the rest of us. What did they sing?

That's Nathaniel Brawn who played piano/keyboards on the 2019 tour.

Interesting exercise. Most are recognisable by their hairstyle rather than their face. The ones I didn't get (and still see no resemblance) were Alex G, Joe, Luke and Sam.

Should his (her?) voice be used to blatantly dub over Libera soloists while the video, orchestration and original choir sound remains intact? The “If” sacrilegious effort has been removed ( I hope because I suggested it should be) but Michael Horncastle singing “Far Way” with an alien voice remains....

The list is too long. In the order they came to mind: The Moon Represents My Heart, Ave Maria (TDL), How Great Thou Art, If, Going Home, Attendite, Sing Lullaby,The Prayer, Still,Still,Still, Nunc Dimitis (Ben Crawley or Daren Geraghty). Stopping there, but could go on...
