Hi All 
- I've been lurking here for a week or so and thought it was time to introduce myself. Like many I discovered Libera through casual browsing on Youtube and quickly became a fan. While not of any religious persuasion, or even a lover of classical music, I have always loved harmonies and melodies. Libera provide that in abundance . Such was the pleasure of the sight and sound of Libera that even my Wife who is v e r y difficult to please has also become enamoured of Libera.
We live in the UK in a beautiful part of the country called the "Forest of Dean" hence my Username
. This puts us around 100 miles from London and for a retired couple like us means quite a trip to see live events - although our journey pales in comparision with the mileage many of you travel to see Libera .
We first saw Libera "live" at the Epson concert earlier in the year. This was an ideal venue for us since my wife suffers from a number of physical frailties including not being able to lift her head from her chest without a lot of discomfort. Careful selection of raised seating in a theatre environment where the seats are above the level of the stage makes things so much easier for her. It was with some trepidation that we booked "premier" seating at St. George's knowing that all seats (naturally in a Church/Cathedral evnvironement) would all be at the same level. However thanks to some very helpful people at the Cathedral we were allocated aisle seats aroun 6 or 7 rows from the front which gave as good a view as could reasonably be expected.
We both thoroughly enjoyed our evening and look forward to more live events within the UK. I think we'll even make a trip to the European mainland for a future theatre based concert within "Easyjet" reach, but perhaps not for an event without reserved and raised seating.
I think I've rabbited on enough for a first post, but look forward to joining in when I've something marginally useful to add to a thread .
