Favourite Libera Members?

Not sure if you mean singer or personality.....

As singers, I would list Liam O'Kane, Steven Geraghty, Michael Horncastle and Tom Cully as favorites.

Having been to a few meet and greets, my favorite personalities are

Tom Cully - who made me feel appreciated at my first meet and greet (it was supposed to be the other way around

)

Ralph Skan - whose disposition is as sunny as his smile

Zack Lockett & James Threadgill who are quite lively and worth seeking out should you find yourself at a meet and greet.

Had I not had the opportunity to meet everyone in person, I would have chosen Flynn and Kavana who are both so expressive when they're singing.

Oh how was it like when you first meet and greet Tom? Really curious to know how he made you feel appreciated~ Tom's always nice and friendly and sweet. I wish I can meet him someday as well.

Tom was the first Libera member I encountered at my first meet and greet ever. I was kind of nervous trying to figure out what to say and so forth.

Tom, who was obviously quite experienced at this sort of thing, took the responsibility of striking up the conversation with me, thanking me for coming, asking if I'd enjoyed the show etc. He radiated sincerity and interest; I was very impressed.

While I'm sure it was no big deal for him, his small gesture helped to make me feel more at ease as I went through the line meeting some of the other members who were not as outgoing as he was.

I recall reading someone's account of their trip to the Buffalo concert. This person ended up staying in Libera's hotel. When he saw the boys in the hotel lobby, Tom recognized and greeted him. I'm sure that person felt very special thanks to Tom's thoughtfulness.

In my eyes, Tom has been a leader in Libera in more ways than one!

Tom is an easy-going boy, he seems to make a lot of friend, not to mention the fans..i'm sure he's going to be a respectable and talented person when he grows up

Too true. He's unique and one of a kind.

this is a really difficult question to answer. they're all awesome, but....

i'd have to say Ed, who is often overlooked when people list their favorite members. he's a great singer, very versatile, and sounds spot on whether he's doing a solo, a second harmony, a descant, or just singing as part of the ensemble. his voice, especially his enunciation, is really unique - yet it still blends in well enough with the others' so that you don't hear him sticking out during a chorus or whatever. and it's really, i dunno...smooth? haha. he needs more attention/solos! lol.

and, of course, there's the hair. gotta love the hair.

for the new kids, i really like Flynn. his voice is awesome, and he's so cute when he sings!
another one is Alfie. the shot of him on SoP when RP asked him if he was bored just did it for me. i hope he gets a solo soon. if he wants one, of course.

but i love them all. seriously.

I definitely agree with you about Ed! He is an extremely versatile singer. It seems like he has done some of everything! The high parts in "Sanctus" and "Salva Me" on the 2006 Angel Voices album, amazing second treble lines in their Angel Voices: Libera in Concert Album from 2007, and several moving solos in the 2008 New Dawn album, like "Canon" and "In Paradisum", not to mention being part of the "Air" song.

Although I really, really like the current "old" Libera boys who are main soloists (Tom--although he seems to have retired as a treble and is singing the lower parts now--, Josh, Mini-Ben, Liam, Ed) I can't wait to hear from the new boys! I heard that there were so many new soloists on the Easter tour like Flynn, Kavana, Alex, Freddie, Mini-James, Stefan and so on...Hopefully Libera will be able to record a new album within the next year or two.
