HOTEL LIFE
So here we are. Finally, after 6 full concerts, a Starkey Hearing gala and some church services, we come to the end of our America tour 2011. The journeys have been fun. The performances were exciting, and wonderful. The support: AMAZING. But one thing seems missing: What about hotel life?? It all starts off when […]
On the Bus
Eight wheels. A ton of metal. 28 choirboys. And one moose. This is… a day on the coach with Libera!!! At the beginning of the journey we start off with around 1 hour of Mario kart (a Nintendo ds game) where everyone connects and races each other on, as we like to call it “The […]
USA Tour 2011 – Part Four
Saturday we spent all day in our Four Seasons amazing hotel/spa place, which was apparently the sixth best resort in the whole of the U.S! Well, it might as well have been first, with all the facilities available: huge tennis courts, about four swimming pools, many squash and racquetball courts, and of course the gym. […]

USA Tour 2011 – Part Two
Friday was a ‘concert day’ for us. A ‘concert day’ consists of relaxation in the morning, followed by a big lunch and a sound check in the afternoon. In the morning we went to the Minneapolis Media Institute, where we saw loads of iMacs, mixing desks, and tons of electronic music gear where students learn […]

Preparing for a Tour
As you might be aware, we are going on another tour soon. For most of us, we have the end of term to get through first, and many rehearsals on the side, followed by a whirlwind of last-minute packing! Rehearsals for a tour are usually quite intensive; hours of practice for both music and choreography […]
Canada Tour Blog – Finale
Hello! Here I am again, for the last time until the next tour! So sad, so sad. Anyway, after the Niagara Falls visit on Thursday, we had a concert quite a way away from Toronto in Hamilton. We were performing in a nice church called West Highland Baptist Church. It was quite big, and so […]
Canada Tour Blog part 2
Previously, you heard of our arrival, and of our various trips and concerts. Well, here’s some more info for you on the Libera Canada tour. The day after the St. Andrew’s concert was pretty calm. We got up late after a well-deserved sleep, and had our regular over-intake of food. We later discovered something you […]
Our tour in Canada
On Tuesday we got on the coach at about 10.30 am in order to get to Heathrow. Some two hours later we arrived, deposited our luggage, waited round for a bit and then boarded our flight to Toronto, Ontario. It was a seven-hour flight, and it was easier to stay up for the whole thing […]
