Sorry for the double post but Quote:
In 2003, Hayley performed Porakarakara Ana and Amazing Grace at the Royal variety show in front of the Queen of England. It was a huge career move for a fourteen-year-old. Here, from ITV3, is Hayley looking back at her amazing experience of this magnificent performance.

Is this the same performance? So it's no big deal really to perform in this? coz she has been in it once already?

Hi Simba,
This was a previous RVP. It was a long time ago. Hayley is much older now, and very different.
The fact that she was in it years ago is niether here nor there. I doubt many will remember it. And it IS televised all over the world, and it IS very good exposure for Hayley. Hopefully, she will sing something from Paradiso.

Just a bit of background information, The Royal Variety Performance is presented annually in aid of the Entertainment Artistes' Benevolent Fund (the EABF). The EABF cares for hundreds of entertainers throughout the UK who need help and assistance as a result of old age, ill-health, or hard times, and Brinsworth House, in Twickenham, Middlesex, is the Fund's dedicated nursing home, caring for elderly members of the entertainment profession.
Artists give their time free to perform in this charitable show each year which is always attended by members of the Royal family.

Well, I don't know. 150 million is rather less than the population of India I think. Although that might refer to the number of people expected to watch it, rather than the total population of the countries where it will be shown. But "keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again" you never know.

To make a small correction, Hayley was sixteen at the time, not fourteen.

Hi everyone,now that the Paradisotour of NZ has concluded. Isn't Hayley about to start a tour of Taiwan? I wouldn't think she would be back in the UK for this gig would she?
