Also, I was able to clear customs okay this time! Took me about 15 minutes before, now only about 2! The best part was, the man knew about Libera! He saw my jacket and was like "Ah, the choir Libera?" :lol: you never know when you'll find a fan!

Nice and funny review Rebecca ! Thank you very much for sharing your feelings ! :D

When we have seen you passing over the first row it was not possible to let you go away, specially after the piano bad joke in Epsom, so we squeeze a little each other to welcome you :)



I hope we will soon have again the occasion to meet at a concert venue :)

Thank you!! I really enjoyed writing it :)

I hope so too! Who knows where Libera will go next! I could probably do France though, if they do decide to go there :wink:

You mention the huge queue on Hamilton parking, I was really impressed also ! :shock: After our group had waited around 6 hours in front of the doors I finally went in with the premium tickets owners fellow. at that moment the queue was not so long, let say 40-50 meters.
While inside the building I realized that I was still wearing my sunglasses, with the normal glasses remained in the car ! Not good for the concert !

So after having waited 15-20 minutes in the corridor leading to the premium seats, ans after having secured a seat on the first row, I rush to the car.

And there what a shock ! :shock: The queue was almost the triple as when we entered in ! 150 meters, easy !

Funny, the queue was going to main entrance to the first car on the parking, ours ! and then the queue turned left around the car to go through all the long long allee of the parking, so I had to break the queue and ask to few people to let me go in to be able to open the door :)

And after having changed my glasses occured a problem that I had not imagined : I had to dodge the queue to go back into the church.... many people were staring at that rude person with dark eyes, and I felt very unconfortable ! :oops: :lol:

It depends if they will have a budget to go abroad in the summer.

I doubt we will get a u,k this side of July as a lot of the older boys will have exams in May and we got a concert before Canada whereas normally we get one when they come back.

Oh, if you ask me July would be just perfect :D
I think they deserve some rest before a new concert!

It looks like Canada tour was pretty well attended ! 8)

The church choir was joined on the balcony by the Libera Boys for the final Hallelujah from the Messia (Haendel), but also joined Andy Winter, Big Ben, and maybe others used to sing as adults in the St Philip Choir :) (the balcony was so crowed it was difficult to see everyone)
I saw Sam Coates up there as well. Not sure about Steven. If you watch the CTV report, you can see Andy and Sam.

We went up there after the service to see the organ. It's a very small space! Besides the organ and choir, they had a string section, an excellent trumpet player, a trombone, a timpani. Can't believe they fit 23 more boys up there!

Sitting at a Panera in Michigan now. Almost home. Hope Libera and all the fans have a safe trip as well. Tomorrow I am giving a tour of Chicago to some Japanese friends! Can't wait! :D

Thank you so much! I will when I have time! I have to do some crazy studying now though, with 6 tests/quizes tomorrow! Unfortuntly that's a little hard to do when I'm still in a Libera trance!

Finally home though, after a big delay and then plane troubles! Should've been here almost 3 hours ago, though!

Thought I'd give a little treat to those, that couldn't go. ;)
Hope you'll enjoy....

And here are my pictures from the concert I went to at St. Michael's Catholic Cathedral, Toronto/ON (Canada)! :)

beautiful pictures, Karina! :D

Glad you're finally home Paul!
I was really tired today too, after sitting on a plane for nearly 6 hours when it should've been 3, and sitting in the airport for an extra 2+ hours.. I couldn't even wake up this morning!
