Re: He inspired a generation

The late great Prince wrote this track, and you can hear Prince singing backing vocals too. Not the worst way to start a solo singing career…

Re: UK Cathedral Concerts in 2024

Any guesses who might be among the Bigs?

Provided they haven’t already moved on by then I’d guess: Koji, Daniel, Ethan B, Jack, Freddie M, Mitchel and Ethan H.

Re: He inspired a generation

Initially his career went really well. His biggest hit was “Tell Me What You Want Me to Do” when he was 15. But back in the 90’s people were not as tolerant as now, and questions about his private life had a negative impact on his career. He’s been able to maintain a certain level of success in Afri...

He inspired a generation

At around 11 years old Tevin Campbell, who’d been discovered singing in his church choir in the town of Waco, Texas, was something of a revelation. People hadn’t heard a boy treble switch it up like this since the Motown heydays. Here is Tevin featured on one of music genius Quincy Jones’ concept al...

Re: Ave Verum

And on and on it goes - Ave Verum Corpus is now at over 2.5 million views… The video has clocked up more views and likes than all the rest of the released songs on the both the current (“Forever”) and previous (“If”) albums combined. :shock: :shock: Sam Coates’ arrangement has to take a huge amount ...

Re: Schola Cantorum

And still singing first treble at nearly 15 years of age.😳😳 TM looks like he’s had a wee growth spurt, and it’s wonderful to see him among the boys chosen for the Elijah solo. Looks like he’s starting t...

Re: Forever (Spring 2023)

1.5 million! YT Music (which is where I got this from) combines video and audio plays, so songs with videos will get significantly more total plays. I love the idea that a classical piece can be the most popular track, especially when it goes up against two songs that are well known in popular musi...

Re: Random tour photos

Might seem off-topic for me to say it, but looking at those photos I have a feeling that if they do return to the US in 2025 (or after) they'll likely be opting for the mid-west, San Francisco, and/or LA again. So maybe another cable car photo is in their future! :lol: True. :) I’m still surprised ...

Random tour photos

Two pics from Libera’s US tour last summer, and one from one of their concerts in Japan back in October. Look at Maty - gonna miss that cheeky, smily face.🥹 IMG_3091.jpeg P.S Still hoping Leon has a Dom-level voice in there somewhere that’ll become apparent in the next year as he reaches core age.

Re: UK Cathedral Concerts in 2024

HURRAY! :D :D :D With such a relatively early announcement I may be able to attend the July concerts! June is out of the question for work reasons outside my control, but July is very doable. I've been sick at home all weekend plus today with a nasty cold, so this is exactly what I needed to cheer ...

Re: What’s going on with Libera 2024?

On that 2022 UK ‘tour’, the attendance was poor for those.🤷🏽‍♀️ Combination of late announcement and not great promotion I guess. Just feel that Libera could do so much better if they were more accessible between albums like they used to be prior to the pandemic. It’s been 9 and 10 years since we ha...
