Oliver Putland

Post by maartendas »

Lexi from Mini-Angels wrote a great blog about an e-mail conversation she recently had with Oliver Putland. Oliver was one of the boys from back in the day when Libera was still called St. Philip's Boys Choir and sang lots of solos. He's a year older than me, so in his early thirties now, and talks at length about his time as a chorister, sharing some hilarious anecdotes in a great way of writing. He now works as an animator for Aardman studios (the company that makes Wallace & Gromit)! Check out Lexi's blog here! :)

A still from the video for Andrew Lloyd Webber's Pie Jesu from the very first Angel Voices album, with solo by Oliver:
