Libera Dreams

I don't think Libera intend not ever will be a money making machine. I think they tour for the pleasure and experience it presents to the boys who would not normally get the chance to travel and see the places they have.

They are not U2, they don't sell out 60,000 stadium tours. Sure when you get to that level you can make a decent wad out of it, but not for something like Libera. You'll never see the Libera boys being driven to public school in Bentley's and probably just as well.

I agree..........they aren't in it for the money.......there is no money!! LOL.... Only to be heard.......EMI gets all the money....and our boys are being exploited......but that's a different story.....

I can assure you EMI is not in it for the joy of music...

But we wouldn't be talking about this.......if it wasn't a win win situation....for both EMI and Libera and us fans....

Okay. I'm done too. It was a good way to while away a cold and rainy day.

Off to do what they do in Canada on a Saturday night.....watch the Hockey playoffs?!?




P.S. to Jimmy - No mention of an early appearance at Islington (and perhaps no need as it is sold out).

Also some of the boys were interviewed at roughly 15:30 Thursday on Toronto's classical station 96.3, have you found a recording of that?

EMI are massively in debt and near bankrupt, so maybe they haven't looked after their money as well as they should have. However that's also another story.

Time for bed.

Whatever the case may be......I'm done too.......LOL...

Negative. Although they do have a lobby area on their facebook page, were some classical/crossover stars have been interviewed and also provide live performances. I'll keep checking, but thanks not heard about that interview until you mentioned it.

Grrrr..

This thread is starting to anoy me.

This should be a thread about the Canadian concerts not about EMI.

That should be for another thread, for sure.

My deepest apologies............I guess the discussion just got a little carried away.......I'm sorry my friend......

Anticipating a full and descriptive review from you!!!

Hi guys. How did the concert went? Was it okay?
And about the interview, I'm quite curious about it. You guys know anything about it?

I'm not quite sure what interview you mean, but the concert was wonderful, the boys performed perfectly, they seemed to enjoy it as much as us.

I've now been to four concerts, and I must say that this has got to be the best that I have seen, even after Epsom which I though could not be any more perfect. Stefan was on top of his game, as was all of Libera.

Freddy and Cassius joked about there mascot moose which was so cute and hilarious.

I really want to get a moose myself now to go with my other Libera memorabilia, as it will be symbolic of Libera.

I really hope it does snow while im there... but that it has no preventions for the concert.. ive never seen snow and id sure like to! Also, im thinking of bringing my stuffed moose to the concert - anyone think I should? looks like I'll be needing to go out an buy a coat, due to the forcast of next week!

Regarding any snowfall, be careful of what you wish for! We get some significant snowfall here in southwestern Ontario. Our last big storm was in late March, when we got over 20 cm. in one day. Snow can even fall in April.
