Since 2007 Liam has been singing the solo for the song Libera, at the end of this song he sings a 'Top D' note as we have been told by Mini-Ben. On the album New Dawn Liam was given a solo in the song Sancte, this song has come to be a fan favorite with many people wishing for it to be sung live at a concert.

The people behind Libera are certainly giving it thought but they say that it could be quite difficult to arrange for the stage and to sing live.

Liam enjoys composing music going to see plays at the theater playing on the piano and playing tennis. He says his nickname is Tweet.

Tom Cully's Profile

Currently: Active Member
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 rather than work. His flair for these high motifs was first observed in performances of one of the choir's best known songs, "Sanctus", where he shared the top part with Ben Crawley and Joe Platt - a role passed on from Liam O'Kane and Steven Geraghty.

Tom's talent can be heard on two of Libera's albums - Free (2004) and Visions (2005) - in songs such as "Stay With Me", "Sempiterna" and "We are the Lost", as well as a brilliant top C to end "I am the Day". The Visions album also gave Tom his first solo song, the seemingly reassuring yet slightly unsettling "Always With You". Tom loves to sing in live performances and his efforts for these have been equally remarkable, whether it be with Hayley Westenra, Aled Jones or concerts by Libera alone on both 2005 tours.

He also took part in the world premier of Preisner's Silence Night and Dreams in Athens.

Thomas Cully can be heard in one episode of Foyle's War. On Libera's new album [ New Dawn ]Thomas has 6 solos, one of which is a truly wonderful version of Bach's Air on the G string.

When Tom is not singing he can be found playing football (soccer) with his friends.
