Background on Libera

Some might wonder who is this group called Libera. Well, Libera has traveled the world in the last few years. The group's albums have topped both mainstream and classical charts in many countries. They have released three albums for EMI Free, Visions and Angel Voices and most recently they have won the BBC1 hit TV show When Will I Be Famous in February 2007. The boys who make up the band have been described as normal but their recordings and performances show, their music they produce is excellent. The singers of Libera are aged seven to sixteen and attend many different local schools in South London and come from a variety of backgrounds. Although they are boys and they sing, they do not think of themselves as choirboys, but rather as an alternative kind of boy band. Libera universal appeal has endeared the group to fans all over the world, particularly in the US, UK, Korea and Japan, where their CDs top the mainstream and classical charts and where they pack concert halls appearing in their trademark white robes.

Libera Impostors

This alert message came from Libera's Facebook.

Libera Impostors
Wed at 12:57pm

It has come to our attention that there is someone on Facebook pretending to be various boys from Libera. This person makes friends with fans and passes false information about the boys, and we have even been told of an attempt to extort money. We believe one such account has recently been closed down by Facebook, but we know there are others. Please take care. Libera boys are regularly reminded about internet safety and they know not to make friends with people they do not already know for real. So if you are friends with someone who says he is a current Libera boy it may be the impostor or someone else who has the same name as a Libera boy. We would suggest you remove them from your friends lists.

Kind regards

Libera

Future Meet & Greets

I recently e-mailed Libera to find out about Meet & Greet on the Philippine Tour and this was their response.

"We have to consider a number of factors when deciding whether or not to sign autographs after concerts, not least of which is the very specific regulation surrounding performing children, and child protection in general - as well as the wishes and resources of the venue we are performing in. It is increasingly challenging to satisfy all these requirements and this means that we are less able to do signings than in the past. This is not to say we will never do signings, but they are more unlikely than previously and we may find ourselves experimenting with different ways in different places."

Libera Autumn Tour Revised

Libera announced yesterday that they have now planned two concerts for the Philippines. The first one we already know about the second one will take place on October 28th at the famous Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino located 30 minutes from Mactan international Airport.

Choir Member Of The Week-Liam Connery

Joined the choir: 2005

Birthdate: December 4, 1995

Age: 13

Quotes: "...you can't forget Disney Land, that was brilliant! We went on a really scarry ride called 'It's a Small World After All' and we all started singing our own little tunes to it, we started singing it and some discounts as well..."

Decription:

Liam Connery made his first public appearance during 2005, he has appeared in the video of Locus Iste which was included on the Japanese version of Visions and also released via the official website. 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. It is clear from the skill Liam displays when singing Libera and Sancte that he is due to become one of Libera's top soloists. Liam enjoys composing music going to see plays at the theater playing on the piano and playing tennis. He says his nickname is Tweet. When Liam grows up he wants to be a Western musical actor or just a movie star.

Pictures at the Venue?

It was brought to my attention can you take pictures at the Philippine Concert in October? I would hope you can during the autograph session after the concerts. I will ask around and find out if you can after the concert. I know for sure during the concert you will not be able to take pictures since it says no photography at the venue.
