"This boy is not sick..."

Here's a video taped recording of the ATV Production from 1977 with some members of the original cast from Belmont School. I doubt any of them are still trebles.

Another reason for the mics is that they help to minimize the reverb so that their sound remains the same, despite the fact that each venue has a different acoustic. The choir can sound the same (or similar) in a cathedral with a 7 second reverberation and a concert hall with no reverb at all with ...

What fun!

Now, to keep things on topic, we know they have plenty of experience setting up the sound at various churches and cathedrals, but, and unlike Ely, these are more novel venues. They have (to my knowledge) never sung in Lincoln, and a concert in Chester in 2010 was too long ago for them to remember h...

I'll answer that with a comparison of Magdalen... Well, you certainly explained one of the main reasons, but I think there are other factors too... Thank you for your long answers to what seems like a silly question. It's true that Libera does a lot of things other choirs don't that requires amplif...

Those cathedrals were designed to have amazing acoustics. Boys have sung in them for hundreds of years without the need for microphones and speakers. Why do we suddenly need them now?

Sanctus!

Kidding (I hope)

Better get your tickets now. This looks amazing!

So, what is more to say ? It was a fantastic concert. I wish I could attend the Summer Tour, it is going to be great. I can’t wait for the new album. :D :D :D Thank you. I appreciate the way you make a special effort to remember the staging while you enjoy the music. It helps us imagine the scene m...

So, our first concert of the year is finished and we have now had a chance to hear the new songs, new soloists and a glimpse of who remains in the group and who has joined them. Somehow I managed to write 3,000 words so I've spit it into personal experiences and the actual songs review, so you can ...

For sure. The only reason I asked my original question was because the chatter about this concert seemed rather subdued compared to previous UK concerts. That was a bit of a concern for me.

With all due respect to Luca I don't think any single boy is capable of making or breaking the choir... Now, and to be fair, there have transitional periods... I guess I should have said Freddie and Luca's solos and saved you all that trouble. :wink: Ave Verum and Lighthouse would have been difficu...

I wish I could go over and hear them! And I wonder if they will meet any other choirs there? Uppsala domkyrkas gosskör have been to the UK twice and both times I was able to hear them sing in the Swedish Church in London and they were fantastic! I was also lucky enough to get to hear the reigning Å...

I saw Oliver! the last time it was in the West End and it was excellent. On that trip to London I also so BETM for the first time. This is the trailer for Oliver! From that time and the kid playing Oliver was the one I saw: https://youtu.be/ouP-YMTfCX4?si=0F9u64xnqmzBevT5 Have you seen the the DVD ...
