Hi everyone! Just arrived back home after travelling by train from Derby so pretty tired! Thank you to everyone who has already posted such wonderful pictures and reports on the evening! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif I had a thoroughly enjoyable time meeting everyone there at the opera house. It was a truly fantastic concert by Hayley who was on top form throughout all of her songs, as well as being in a stunning new dress!! After the concert we were lucky enough to spend time with Hayley, who seemed very pleased to see so many of us there! Our rendition of Happy Birthday went down very well, Caitlin you never had anything to worry about there! This morning I was able to spend some time walking round Buxton, particularly the beautiful Pavillion Gardens, meeting up with Gordon and Eugene in the process. Will hopefully get round to uploading a few photos at some point once I have time to do so. Anyway, need to be up early for work tomorrow so will get some sleep now. Best wishes David

What a perfect photo, Karsten, well done!! Beautiful as always.
I just can't get over that lovely DRESS! Does anyone know where Hayley gets her dresses from? Are they all from Jenny Packham, her designer? Or where those only for her album photoshoots??

Thanks, everyone, for all the beautiful photos! I like her new dress. I don't think I've ever seen her wear orange before. Yes, Hayley's right, it's orange. I'm glad you all had a wonderful time! BTW, who is this Connie Talbot?

BTW, who is this Connie Talbot? Connie was the runner up on Britain's Got Talent. She's an amazing singer and she's only 7 years old. It must have been a thrill for Connie to meet Hayley! Our Belinda has a message board for Connie connietalbot.proboards102.com/and visit www.connietalbot.com/ the offficial site. Also there is a thread for Connie at the Other Music board. on the HWI forum. You will be astonished at this pint-sized wonder!

Hi Vicki Then it was Andy’s turn! Hayley signed his book had a chat with him. At the end, she gave him a hug too, and a kiss. Andy has decided that he will never wash again! He is still in cloud cuckoo land and can’t get over the fact that he finally got to meet Hayley. (Note to myself – give Andy list of jobs to do in the house, whilst he is in a great mood!) Vicki Hi Vicki In my opinion, Andy is Hayleywowed! So there will be point giving him jobs in the house ever again! You will need to accept that there is no cure! Sorry. George

Hello everyone
I just remembered another little snippet of "Hayleyness" from Saturday's concert.
As she was beginning to tell the story that goes with Santa Lucia, she began by trying to speak with an Italian accent, but then giggled and explained what she had intended to do, but that it wasn't working and that she'd better stick to English!
I thought it quite funny at the time as she had just sung 'Lascia' perfectly. Obviously not as easy to speak it as to sing it!
Best wishes Grant

Hi Grant, As she was beginning to tell the story that goes with Santa Lucia, she began by trying to speak with an Italian accent, but then giggled and explained what she had intended to do, but that it wasn't working and that she'd better stick to English! I had forgotten about that - thanks for the reminder! I believe she also said "Grazie" at the end of the song. Hayley dedicated "May It Be" to a member of the audience named John. It was his birthday and his wife had passed a note to Hayley backstage before the concert. Hayley also mentioned that it was her birthday very soon, to which the audience applauded warmly. When she introduced "Both Sides Now", she joked about having a "long" experience in life (almost 21 years) and therefore understanding better the meaning of the lyrics. There was also a nice interaction with Al Gurr when she said he knows better about that - Al replied that it wasn't true because he is 18! Lots of love Stephany

Hi Grant and Stephany, Is my memory playing tricks with me or did Hayley nearly say my 20th and then quickly correct to 21st birthday Graham (Luckily still on holiday )
