Libera of the Week
Currently: Libera Choir
Joined: 2002
Birthday: July 2,1994
Age: 15
Description: Thomas Cully has been part of the Libera legend since he was 7, singing his first feature on the 2002 “Songs of Praise” video "There is a Green Hill" with fellow chorister Michael Horncastle. Almost straight away Tom established himself as a proficient singer of the high notes, a task he particularly enjoys and regards as play instead of work. Tom's voice first figures prominently on Libera's 2004 album “Free” where he can be heard to good effect on "Stay With Me" and "I Am The Day" hitting an astonishing top C to end the song. Libera's 2005 release "Visions" sees Tom taking a more prominent role in the group. He shares solo duties on "Sempiterna" with Joe Sanders-Wilde and on "We are the lost" with Michael Horncastle but more importantly "Visions" also sees Tom given a solo of his own for the first time with the joint Prizeman/Crawley composition of “Always With You”. From this point Tom became one of Libera's principal soloists and the release of the "Angel Voices" album in 2006 provided Tom with solo parts on "Going Home", a new recording of "Salva Me" and a hauntingly beautiful version of the carol “Silent Night”. Outside of Libera and the St Philip's Church Choir, where he sings regularly at the Sunday services, Tom's great passion is his local football club Crystal Palace F.C. It seems certain that Tom will be a mainstay of Libera for many years to come.
