Those programs are being sold at a loss. You will be very happy with the quality of the Canadian program.

I would say that because of the sound quality, this has got to be the best concert by far, which is a big statement after the permanent sound installation of Kitchener
You nailed that on both points Paul. This is the one church we have been to so far that made the accommodation of their guests a priority.

I am happy that they were rewarded with the best concert of the tour so far. I would add that not only was the sound quality superb, more of the boys sang with more animation than usual tonight. One might think that on night 3 of a three in a row grind (and 5 concerts in 6 days) that it would be more likely that Libera would look more expressionless; instead we were treated to a real good demonstration of showmanship as well.

Last night was a prime example of why I make it a priority to get to as many concerts as I can.

Yes!

I also agree with your point, of the boys so much more animated. they really are loving every moment of there tour, and getting more in to it at every concert, its a real shame that I wont be able to attend the last, but I can't grumble at 6 concerts.

The Royal York? Ouch. I'm sure it's all arranged by sponsors, but it's hard NOT to get better rooms for a better price in Toronto. That said, it's a great shot, Paul, but if that's as close as you got to it, you did much better than the boys. :)

The Royal York itself is a tour sponsor.

I would hope that all Libera fans are grateful for its support and interest in the group.

Thanks - here's another one with cbc.ca He appears more relaxed in this one. Young Kavana is with him too.

Glad to hear they got some downtime and made it to the Niagara Falls (second time round for boys like Liam, JB etc.. but I expect they were no less awed by it).

Hope we get to see a tour video again. Tom's reaction on the 2008 video when he turned round and said "It's amazing innit!" always sticks in my mind for some reason lol

Does anyone know about footage of an an interview with Kavana, Mini James and Liam a few days ago also on Salt & Light by the same presenter? There were pictures of them together on Facebook.

10 years as a group says Robert Prizeman ? .. even if he only counts Libera that album was still out in 1999 so deffo longer than 10 years.

Its nice to hear Kavana and how he joined the group. And nice to know he has more taste than to be a Bieber fan and he loves Glee ;)


ETA~ Just wikipedia them and they officially became Libera in 1995 so im quite shocked that Robert does not know the basic facts about his own creation. Because thats 16 years as Libera.
