Libera on 2 SoP specials

[maartendas]

Exciting news! Libera participated in the filming of 2 Songs of Praise specials at Royal Albert Hall.
Pictures show them singing with Susan Boyle.
The first special with UK's Top Ten Hymns will be aired on October 27, the other with UK's Top ten Carols on December 22.

Something else to look forward to in addition to the upcoming DVD. Thanks to Lauren & Yuki for first discovery. I remember the favourite Hymn poll on the BBC Songs of Praise website but didn't see the Carols poll at the time.

The first pic shows Libera on their own but they may just be rehearsing their part of the Susan Boyle collaboration or could it be one of their own songs? The formation appears slightly different.

Michael Ball has snapped up 'Abide with Me' and 'O Holy Night'

You mention libera360.org but this site just republishes things written by others.
The page they show is from Lexi's blog Mini-Angels

It would be more fair to mention the real source of the news

Thank you FDL for giving credit where credit is due. I overlooked the original source.

This is good news. I just realised, if they're releasing a new album this winter they'll probably be appearing on a news shows or two , and possibly making cameo appearences on assorted variety shows.

..as expected the BBC press release does not individually mention Libera for their (Big Sing) top 10 Hymns program line-up, to be shown October 27th... so it does look like it will be December for the carols to watch liboyle.

I hope these two performances will somehow make their appearence on YouTube for the benefit of those of us not living in the UK.

Just watched the first special..... no Libera

No reference in the list of performers, so I'm guessing Libera's sole involvement in the program will be what we already know in supporting Susan Boyle. Still great that they will be on stage though. I'm taking a guess it will be 'Silent Night'

Edit: Wrong guess...

It will be 'In the Bleak Midwinter'...

You could still be right. I understand Libera will be featured in two carols.

What great level of understanding you have John

It's going to be Silent Night http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latest ... p-ten.html ... Can't wait!

Hmmmh, I have a feeling that John's great understanding was because he was there in the audience.....

Since today there's a 52 seconds long clip on the BBC site about the "The UK's Top 10 Carols (22/12/2013)" :
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01nq30p

It may show different images from the video that Jimmy captured which is 34'' long.
But I can't check this myself due to the geographic restriction access. It prevents me to play the video.

Is someone based in the UK able to look at the video and check if there's something new interesting in it ?


Thank you
