Hi, Jude ;)
Just some questions... Is the National concert hall in Dublin's center? And what's interesting in Dublin for narnian-christian youth? :lol: And what about cool landscapes near Dublin? :roll:
:wink: it’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice :wink:

Too bad there's no such thing as 'Steerage Class' anymore ;)

Libera have added two more concert dates to their summer schedule;

Belfast; St Peter's Cathedral http://www.stpeterscathedralbelfast.com - 3rd August (they might also sing at some local smaller services in Ireland because that's a stay of about 4/5 days between their Dublin and Belfast Concerts)
Edinburgh; St Mary's Cathedral http://www.stmaryscathedral.co.uk/ - 11th August

Writing as someone who has at times flown tourist class, I assure you, steerage class is very much alive and well. The one modern innovation is that you don't need to devote several days or weeks of your life to traversing the ocean (although it does still feel like that).

Also, you can usually get cabins on a freighter crossing to the UK. You won't get the special treatment as you would on a luxery liner but you do get to sail and will get 3 squares a day. Not exactly sure how long they take to sail the Atlantic though.

I've actually looked into that and it takes about a week minimum to traverse the Atlantic (most likely 2 weeks for me).

I know to go from Montreal, QC, Canada to Liverpool, England it takes 9 days.

:shock: Really?? Now that's definitely something to look in to (and I hope, unlike Ryanair, the toilets are still free :wink: )

I would say 80%.

I'm trying to arrange the visit together with my two younger daughters. The older one was already in London. Now the younger one also wants to joint that event.

I'll call you, Jude.

Cheers from Switzerland

(Actually I'm just sitting in Krakow and should work for a customer...)
