Sorry for the late post. Anyhoo, I made screencaps of the video. SO for those who want the pictures fell free to grab. :) 

USA Tour Updates

To make things sort of organized, I decided that I would link all the information in this page. This post will be updated once there are new news about Libera's US Tour. Also, to avoid repetition of mentioning the song line-up and members and staff list in the USA Tour Concert summaries that I'm making, I decided to make individual posts about them. Any changes on the soloists or song will also be updated in the main concert review page. :)

All updates are taken from Thunderhawk261, Serietah, Jayfrog, LibeLA, from Libera360; Flora, JimmyRiddle, illuminaperpetua, whitetail1985, Lauren, Lexi, Jenn and Tom413 from Libera Dreams; Fan_de_LOK and Geozed from Libera Passion; ElectroPercussive, kpmac1 for Youtube videos; and Luke Ray for some photos and all the wonderful people who have shared their experiences. I'm sorry I couldn't mention all of you.

Here are the links for the posts:

Peachtree Presbyterian Church Concert

There are couple of people who shared their experience about the Atlanta concert and it's best to read it directly from there. Read what Lexi and Larry wrote on their own blogs. Some pictures are posted on Lexi's blog as well. Also, wonderful post by Bobby Kigger can be seen on his BLOG. Enjoy them. :)

Anyhoo, Flora said to me that she'll tell me something about Sam.... Can't wait for that. I've been looking for more picture and videos for their Nashville Concert but I haven't seen anything yet. I know someone will upload eventually so let's just wait until then. :)

St. Louis Concert Details

Lexi's mom made a great review regarding the St. Louis Concert... Visit her BLOG to read it.

I'm jealous of everyone who was able to attend the concert at Basilica. The place is amazing and I'm sure so are the boys...

Anyhoo, Lexi also posted pictures of the MEET AND GREET, I must say that it looks like the boys are enjoying the tour. Just noticed that Sam is using the "Philippines" wristband, fan gave to them. It feels great the he remembers Philippines. :) Thank you for allowing me to link your blog here. :)

Anyhoo, another set of wonderful photos taken by Luke Ray can be viewed HERE and wonderful photos from St. Louis Cathedral HERE.

Just a reminder that if you will take out any pictures, it is always nice to ask the owners first and credit them. :)

PHPC Concert Details

With the updates from Patrick and Jenn from Libera Passion and Libera Dreams, I'm getting more and more excited. I hope to see the boys soon. hahaha

Anyhoo, I'll just give a quick update about the Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church Concert. All of these info are taken from the people mentioned above as I did not and will not be attending any of the US activities of Libera.

An hour or two after their service it is said that the staff already started to arrange the furnitures and the stage. The string players were heard while they were rehearsing. The meet and greet area was also arranged that sure brought another excitement for the fans.

The concert started at 7:30pm and as expected the concert was superb. Only few things to note, Jonathan was ill and didn't came out during the second part of the concert. Also, it is said that Henry coughed during The Fountain. Later on he was assisted by one staff to exit the stage for awhile. Patrick said that at some point, there were only 19 members on stage during When The Knight Won His Spurs. Henry came back during Stay With Me.

During the meet and greet, Josh assured to Jenn that he would not leave Libera. So fans should be really happy because of that. hehehe Jonathan wore jacket during the meet and greet. Poor boy, I hope he feels better now.

Here are some videos of the meet and greet provided by ,  and  respectively:

PHPC Service

Sorry for not being able to update you guys regarding USA Tour. Anyhoo, I few hours ago, I decided to browse for some good Libera news and luckily I read that there was a live streaming of their service at PHPC around 12mn (Manila time). I rushed through my laptop at around 10pm and tried to go through the link. I panicked at first because I can't seem to load the video streaming when there's a mass going on as I've heard on the audio stream. When I realized that the 9am (or so) mass isn't available through video stream, I calmed but it didn't ease my anticipation to hear and see Libera again. I missed them so much. I also searched how I could manage to video the entire service so I could share it to you guys, but I have no luck. I did figured out how to recored through VLC but my internet connection is messed up. I was able to record half of the mass 10am mass but when it was finally Libera's sevice it did messed up. I only recorded half of Sanctus and an awful quality of How Can I Keep From Singing. Funny thing is, I was able to record the readings and the sermon part. hahahaha

Anyhoo, there were 22 boys present as well as Robert Prizeman (of course) and Fiona Pears. Patrick from the Libera French Forum who happen to attend the service mentioned that Andy W, Ian Tilley, Ben Crawley, Eleanor, Barbara and Sam Coates were there. He said he didn't saw Steven G. Maybe he's doing some preparations for the concert as he didn't saw Callum as well. Here are the 22 boys present:

Sorry for the bad quality....

The new kid... I shall name you once I knew your name... I promise. :)


And as I've promised, the new kid is Matthew Jansen. :)

Good thing Karrak57 was able to record the service. Here are the videos:

How Can I Keep From Singing (solo: Sammy Moriarty)

Sanctus (ending solo: Stefan Leadbeater)

It was my first time to record something from the internet and I messed up. I promise to do better next time.  Anyhoo, I'll post whenever I can. It's way past my bedtime. It's 3:30am already. :)

Dear supporters,

We want bring our music to people at affordable prices, but this means that we do not cover all our costs through ticket sales and free will offerings.  As a touring choir we have some quite considerable expenses to cover – for instance our petition and visas to visit the USA for our upcoming tour cost nearly $13,000 alone.

We do not have a large company or commercial backer in the background paying the bills, which means we have to raise our own funding.  So if you feel able to help us cover our costs by making a donation, please visit www.justgiving.com/libera/donate

If you wish to make a more specific offer of financial support, please feel free to contact us at office@libera.org.uk

Kind regards

Libera
