Also, I think we hear part of Song of Life(?) at 0:44 through 0:52, but I'm not 100% posotive that's what it is.. (can anyone else who was in Epsom confirm this? I was in complete shock the entire concert, but espically during this song, so all I remember is that it was amazing.)
Yeah, that was Song of Life as I remember it.

I was surprised when I read that LIBERA gives a concert in the church on Good Friday.

In our church silenced even the organ.
Music it plays again until Easter.

But LIBERA gives a concert that night and that's good for the fans of this music.
I wish you some wonderful concert experiences.

It’s been a while since I posted anything, but I was really excited to hear that Libera would be coming so close. I live in Michigan and am within a four hour drive of most concerts. I’ve already ordered tickets for the Chatham concert as that works out best for me.

Just a quick reminder. If you are going from the US, the border crossing rules are stricter than they used to be. You will need either a passport or what is called an Enhanced Driver’s License (EDL) to cross by land or sea. If you are going by air, a passport is the only thing that’s acceptable.

Just watched a bit of the live service at West Highland. The video feed was a bit ropey, stuttering, cutting out for a few seconds etc... but one of the speakers did mention Libera coming on Good Friday. Large screen above him displayed an advert as he spoke about them to the congregation. Spoke very enthuisiastically about libera.

I think for the spiel, he was reading from this http://www.choirsontario.org/EventManag" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ... 91e37c0005 in particular referring to...

..
As evidence of their broad appeal, a recent YouTube posting of their performance of ‘Going Home’ has attracted over 1.5 million hits
I suppose you can only trust on what's displayed there in front of you but that video has been heavily influenced by software to radically enhance the views. The highest 'genuine' watched video on Youtube for me is the 'Libera - Sanctus' video with 1,012,686 views. So they are not far off from quite a few videos sneaking over the 1m view count.

Speaking of which, Libera official youtube channel currently stands at 986,855 total video views.

...and that's my boring contribution today, because there's not much news about :lol:

Guys you should deffo enjoy this as we wont be getting Arundal this year as Arundel Cathedra has posted programmed events for the coming period and no Libera for May.

I am gutted as i know they said they would not but in the cold light of day i figuered they would find it stupid not to make a quick cash income as it always sellls out and is pretty local.

With just a week to go before I fly out to Canada, the excitement is building. I'm going to keep a blog of the whole trip, plus a few photo's. Hopefully get some pics of Libera if they have a photo and signing session.

I realy hope they do. With 7 concerts and a dose of jet lag who knows.

But yes I will keep you all posted as much as possible, maybe do some partially comprehensible concert reports.

Yes, I'm also interested in various reports. And what's your opinions about the different of the effects in a Church or concert hall. Your personal impressions are important to me. Where are best seats for viewing or listening?

I hope you'll keep us informed. Thanks in advance.
