DAY ONE Like often happens for our tours at Half-Term (Half-Term = a short school holiday lasting a week) many of us rushed straight from school to Heathrow Airport – some via a coach from South London, some direct. So we had all been working hard all day before we […]

Day seven started around 08:30hrs when we rose, showered, dressed in our Sunday best and breakfasted. It was the final concert day. We reach a time when we are on tour when it seems as though it could continue for ever. Tour life becomes a routine and it seems very […]

Day three arrived with a mix of excitement and nerves – our first concert day. After breakfast we made our way to a nearby school. Again, we had the use of a large field and track area, plus, as it was a school day, we were all treated to a […]

PART 1 For most of us it was the half term break and for all of us it was our first trip to China.  We were really excited, so it was a lively group getting off the coach at Heathrow airport. And then, as we were about to check in, […]

We awoke in Houston in our luxury palace which we were able to enjoy because Libera is supported by Four Seasons Hotels. We soon realised we had been spoilt by the sunshine in California.  Looking out of the window we could see the city of Houston stretch out before us. […]

The day after the first concert we had a rest day.  We toured the UCLA campus, visited the sports complex and found the campus shop.  The ‘shop’ was actually huge.  It stocked everything from UCLA socks, computers, Gatorade to books.  We parted with more of our pocket money and a […]

Our adventure began on a grey Summer’s morning in South London. The coach was parked as usual outside the train station and our Minders were waiting with smiles on their faces and ‘Libera on Tour’ luggage tags in hand.  With butterflies in our tummies more through excitement than nerves we […]

On a cold cold, dark dark night in a dark dark wood – well – quite near a few trees, one Friday evening in December we arrived at St Georges Cathedral in Southwark for our Libera Christmas Concert.  I had rushed straight from school, wolfed a quick sandwich and changed […]
