Libera Philippine Tour 2011: PICC Manila

I know I'm one year too late, but I just remembered that I never posted my Libera in Manila 2011 concert pictures. This was the first Libera concert I went to, and it was just magical! It went by way too fast, but I will treasure those memories for a lifetime. Standout performances for me were Eternal Light, with Stefan's splendid solo fused with the choir's divine harmonies and fabulous lighting, Veni Veni Emmanuel featuring Josh's new low voice, and How shall I sing that Majesty with Stefan soloing again. One of the highlights of the evening was 'Himig ng Pasko,' a Filipino Christmas carol that the boys sang with such pride that you wouldn't know they were British.

Happy birthday, Ralph!

Happy 14th birthday to Libera legend Ralph Skan!  Your have touched so many with your beautiful voice, radiant smile, and warm personality. Sing forever, Ralph!

Stefan's Smile

A collage I made of Stefan's screen caps from my Singapore M&G video. Isn't he the most charming lad ever? That smile is just so infectious, boyish, charming, dazzling! Excuse the lame adjectives, but you get the idea. :D  I love how Cassius looks up at him in awe?admiration? Love the love and camaraderie among the Libera boys.

Libera in Singapore 2012: more Meet & Greet Pictures

Sorry for the very late update. Posting some more pictures from Libera's post-concert Meet & Greet for their Singapore Tour. Word of warning: they're mostly Stefan shots. 

The following is a short video I made, set to the music of Grateful Heart, with solo by Liam O'Kane. It's such a beautiful song. I really hope they record and release this on one of their future albums.  

Barney, Luke and Matt Madine.  We all know Barney's a
happy chappy, but Luke surprised me. He's very engaged
and animated when he talks. :)

Matt is still shy and reserved, but so photogenic. Wonder where
he gets that. ^_^.  I can't have enough good things to say
about Ralph.  Brilliant singer, warm and kind soul. Love ya, Ralph!

Barney, Luke, Matthew and Ralph

Ah, love this shot. I was about 10 meters away and called out to
Stef. He's not stingy on giving smiles, ever! :)

Carlos & Kavana: Separated at birth? Dylan looks confused. :p

Cassius & Stefan. 

Our Cassius is ever the entertainer. Never a dull moment!

Awwww.. :D

Stefan cracking up when he realized he said "Faithful Heart" instead of
"Grateful Heart."

I love how Cassius looks up at Stef in adoration.  So cute!

Wish I had more shots of this little guy.  Looking forward to more
solos from Ciaran.

Dylan sang part-solos in many songs. He's so humble. Love him!
