Is it a live performance? And only on BBC? Sigh.. I don't have BBC!
Yeah...it's a BBC show. They (the BBC) are working on making all shows available online to watch on demand (bbc.co.uk/iplayer), but since every U.K. household pays a "licence fee" to help fund the Corporation, those will only be available in the U.K. (for now). Also, BBC America doesn't get the full range of the Corporation's programs (sorry, "programmes"), but rather certain things from Britain and other shows designed specifically for BBC America (it's considered a separate organization under the main corporation).

...not sure what they do in Singapore, xsakurax, aside from World Service. Check YT a few days after the show--there might be something there. The BBC has several official YT channels, and of course there are other people... :wink:

Hopefully some British fans will tape the show and make Libera's performance available for viewing onYouTube as has been done for the Songs of Praise and When Will I Be Famous apearences.

"Last Restaurant Standing"...I wonder if that's where Gordon Ramsey pays your venue a visit! (mere survival would be grounds for "victory" there :o )

Sanctus must be the favourite. For die-hard Libera fans like us, who have heard many versions of Sanctus we may be hoping for something a little different. How amazing would 'I Am The Day' be, or 'Libera'. For news fans who don't know Libera yet, Sanctus still remains the song that best demonstrates the fullest range of the boys vocal capabilities.

I'm not sure it will be live. They are singing at a service in Devon that Sunday morning.

Something fanfare-ish, I guess, if they only get one song (not sure about that). Salva...but that's also been done quite a bit. Maybe Libera--it's a good calling card.

We can get the audio only programs (sorry, "programmes") through the iPlayer, but nothing video because of the fee--they have to restrict something to justify the fee for your households. So no, we can't watch anything on iPlayer, just hear it (and only radio programmes, nothing from the TV). :(

Yeah, that really does suck--I don't suppose anyone over there would be interested in letting me pay their licence fee in exchange for all that public broadcasting the BBC puts on? :wink: Just kidding...I'm a huge fan of the BBC, though, because of their support for things like Libera and music in general. Your "Proms Concerts" series going on right now is way cool...we don't have anything remotely like that in America. :(

If only people saw Libera as important as we do and decided to broadcast it all over the world!! Ah well..... Libera is still one of those (partially) undiscovered beauty's of the world..... I think it will probably be Sanctus, Libera or Salva Me...... but maybe they will do something else!! I'd love to see them pull out and old classic like Ave Verum..... and Adoramus is always amazing!!!

Libera always seems to surprise, maybe they will on Sunday who knows :wink:

EDIT: Libera will be performing 'Orinoco Flow' at their performance on BBC's 'Last Choir Standing' on 27 July 2008 at 7:35pm, according to EMI UK.
