Libera Live

This has got to be one of the highlights of our London leg. And we are glad we managed to catch them live. Firstly, Viola manage to buy tickets the day before she went into early labour. Secondly, the bus that the kids and I were on conveniently decided to terminate midway through our journey (this happens often enough in London). So I had to push kids towards Traflagar Square through the crowds and catch a connecting bus towards St George's Cathedral. Thankfully Darrell decided to come along inspite of arriving earlier on that day and jetlagging.

When we arrived, the queue was snaking as it was free seating. It was interesting to learn that some flew into London especially for the show and more so to learn that Libera is a non profit singing choir.

We are no ardent fans but we were swept away by the ethereal sounds filling the cathedral. A surreal experience. There were missed keys and flat notes ... I think they are the best boy group and in my opinion, they are better than Vienna boys.
