Libera - Christmas in Ireland

[Yorkie]

In a couple of instances, so close that any closer and you would be inspecting their tonsils. There was also a scary looking guy in the second row.

Indeed. I was sat between a couple of them......

[Yorkie]

Well, I wondered if it would ever see the light of day and we are in luck. Josh's appearance on PBS has been made available for us to see:

Josh is a wonderful ambassador for Libera. But he is so modest, so down to earth.
One little comment, the fella said "maybe another DVD" I wonder?

Good news for WNED viewers, October does feel a bit early for this but that's just me. I think I'll be doing a cloak & dagger dance around the net to avoid all the unofficial sites which will have this concert in full and probably HD before I get the DVD in my hands!

And I was hoping you were going to say you had found a streaming site where we could watch it!!! I will of course be buying it anyway but if I had seen it I would probably be tempted to wait until St George's to buy direct from Libera rather than ordering from Amazon - that way more money goes to the group..........

Maybe you are not quite correct there Yorkie. I had the same idea, but asked Steven Philipp about it and he said: Buy it through Amazon. There may be two reasons for that, 1. Libera has no facilities, 2. If bought from Amazon they get extra comission apart from the normal share from the sale.

Hi Johan,

The commission Libera makes via Amazon is negligible. Libera nearly always have some CD's and DVD's for sale at their UK concerts - at the 2011 St George's they were selling the first Christmas album - and they will make far more from those sales than they will via Amazon. I think Mr Philipp was probably meaning that they ad no capacity to run an online store but they certainly can and do sell stuff at their concerts and if they see a DVD for £15 I would think it would be at least £5 profit to them. I'd rather tey got my money than the tax evading scum bags at Amazon.

I've just been thinking, I wonder if either of the songs that are on the DVD but not the CD (Exsultate, Once in Royal David's City) will be available on an iTunes edition of the album, which is the case with Ave Maria from the last DVD. (There are two versions of the last concert CD on iTunes, at least iTunes in the USA, and one includes Ave Maria.) Anyway, it's something to keep an eye on.

Hi Yorkie,
Yes they probably sell also at the venue, I have no idea how they get them for that. Anyway there is a big time laps between 4 and 28 november, so I ordered some from Amazon, in order I have more time to sell some in this country for Christmas. I have already some orders. Profits are of course for Libera.
As for Amazon I do not know what you call negligible, but Trinity School in Croydon (you remember the school, of Stefan) has a similar contract with Amazon and I remember having read on their site they get 5 % of every sale. I suppose Libera gets the same.

You do not have to wait for the dvd to see the videos as they are doing a competition on facebook to find out which will be the most popular song and will revela 8 exclusive tracks

So round one is Away in a manger v Joy to the World

So you will get to see two videos every day until one is standing i assume

Thanks for posting that Dani, it's awesome to get a preview of some of the songs! I voted for Joy to the World, but Away in a Manger is great as well (and it looks like it's winning at the moment). It was a tough choice. I hope they change the video title though - at the moment it's titled "Away in a Manager."

Voted for 'Away In A Manger' cause I heard and played the song 'Joy To The World' frequently..often...and it also was on their last christmas cd. Today - in the video - I heard Benjamin Fairman's singing voice for the first time & have to say that I like it.

For me it is always a very special moment when I hear one of the boys' singing voice for the first time, like in a solo. It's a very intensive feeling for me, really great!
At this point I want to say a big 'thank you' to the LIBERA-Crew for bringing this young voices to us all, out into the world!

I voted for "Away in a Manger" too. It was a tough choice, but I've never heard them sing "Away ..." before.
