Hayley Westenra France « Thread Started on Dec 31, 2010, 5:11pm »
Hi everyone!
With the help of my brother, I created a French website about Hayley.
Before, there was no website strictly dedicated to Hayley in French, and the only place where French could find a bit of information about her was on the wikipedia page. I update this one regurlarly but I found it was not enough.
Indeed, I have noticed through the google alerts that Hayley's name is more and more mentioned in some French forums. However, I have also noticed that people are just starting to discover her and often enquire where they can find more about her, where they can find a list of her albums, listen to her work, etc.
So my goal was to create a place where French people would be able to find nonetheless her biography and her discography, but also her news, her events and some of her photos and videos.
I hope that this goal will be reached, and that it will be useful in the future for French people. With the new album coming out next year, let's hope Hayley's popularity will grow in France and Europe!

Please feel free to make me any comment or give me any advice to improve it.

Hi Juliette I think that seeing Hayley in person at the Barbican has had a profound effect on you. You have been "Hayley-Wowed" to the nth degree. That's a good thing for HWI and all the French fans. With your enthusiasm and your ability to communicate so well you will be a great ambassador for Hayley. Keep up the good work.

I'm interested in European languages, although I don't know much. So I enjoyed trying to read the French. Based on my somewhat limited knowledge of Spanish, I can kind of guess what each word means, but I have no clue how to pronounce them! I've been listening to French songs (Josh Groban!) to help give me an idea how.
