London Concert

Yuki's picture before the concert started

The London concert starts in just 2 hours! Fan de Lok was lined up at 10:00 am! :D It's very cold in London today. The boys arrived about 30 minutes ago, and Dani reports that all the regular boys are there including Josh, Ben, Liam and Daniel. Hope the concert goes well and that everyone has a wonderful time!

It was a sold-out concert. There were programs and CD's for sale at the door. Sam Leggett and James Mordaunt were sitting in the audience, and Murkskis heard at the concert that Freddie Ingles has moved away and is not in Libera any more. :'( Jakob was standing with the big boys on the back row, so his voice may have changed.

  2. Hi Lexi, last night's concert was totally amazing! I just love it! Hope we can have more concerts in the UK in the future.
    I joined the others to wait for the boys after the concert. But I admit this was not a good idea. For some of the boys' parents (especially those of the little ones) got quite nervous with fans waiting for their sons and I felt really sorry for them. :( And what's more, the Libera staff was quite aware this time so we did not see many boys.
    But still I managed to meet Daniel and Mini Ben. Daniel was just such a nice boy! So nice to all the fans and so kind! And Mini Ben was funny and friendly as I've imagined. This was the first time I got the chance to meet the boys... not bad as a start I suppose. Hope I can attend a M&G session someday. :)
    Oh, btw I sat in the front row this time, so if you like I can send you my report and some photos I took after the concert. :D

  3. I attended the concert in the Philippines but still wished I've made it to the UK concert, too.Song list was the same except that the encore was a traditional Filipino Christmas song which made the concert extra special for the audience. I totally agree that the Veni Emmanuel by Josh and Ralph is totally awesome! It's Daniel doing the solo in the album. So, I'm glad I heard their version live. So, sad to hear about Sam and James. Still keeping my fingers crossed to see them in the future concerts.

  5. Hi. Anon! That's a very good question! I think you're right! Alfie and Bertie might be brothers! :)

  6. Hi, Lucy! Ahhh! You got to sit on the front row! Bet you had an awesome time. I'd love to post your review and pictures! Thank you! You have my mom's e-mail, right?

    So happy you got to meet Daniel and Ben! They are both super nice. :) Yeah, it's so different in the US getting to meet them. But I still want to go to London for a concert someday. ;)

  7. Hi, mail! Glad you got to see them in the Philippines! And you got to hear songs live that mist of us will never get to hear. I think Sam will still sing with Liberal in the Spring, but I'm not sure about Mini-James. I'm sad about that, too.

  9. They got Barney's name wrong. Mini-James and Freddie are no longer apart of Libera?! Why so soon?!
