Well, that (te length of this thread) isn't surprising. Let's make it a record, it deserves to be. There were more of us there than ever before, all with our own personal memories and many with lovely photos to share. Many of us regard it as one of the greatest musical experiences of our lives. Personally I had a good feeling about it before we arrived. I expected Hayley to be awesome, but she was even better than I had dared to dream. This was a performance I will never forget. How much better can she get? I am still blown away when I think about it. Those of us who were there were privileged to experience something really special. It ended all too soon, but then I could listen to Hayley for ever. It is to my eternal regret that I was so overcome I did not manage to frame any coherent questions when I spoke to Hayley afterwards. I would have liked to know how she felt. Was it special for her, she seemed in high spirits so I suspect it was. Also, I would have like to have thanked her for what was one of the greatest concerts I have ever been to.
Martin

Hello everybody, Yet again stunning images. But I have one burning question: how come they allowed photographs in the concert hall?? Everyone theater that I've been in strongly prohibited photography during a performance because the flash disturbs the eyes of the performers. So how did you guys manage that? Dori

Hello everyone and thank you Thomas and Stuart for your latest pictures. Well, that (te length of this thread) isn't surprising. Let's make it a record, it deserves to be. Hi Martin It has a little way to go yet! The Shepherds Bush concert holds the record with 67 pages - there were a lot of us at that one too! It is a sad fact Martin that we rarely seem to ask Hayley how she feels of even tell her how much we enjoy her performances. I did say to her that I thought she looked stunning in her new dress and I have complimented her on her performance on several occasions. It seems we always have so many questions of our own and time is always so short. I'm sure she does realise that she wouldn't see us as often as she does if we didn't enjoy her performances, but I agree, we should tell her more often than we do. Best wishes Grant

Dori Hi Dori, They don't allow flash. That is why it is so difficult !!!... and only 'good quality' camera's work. And even then you need someone who knows when and how to take a shot with the ' volume' of stage light.etc... Compare Karsten's to ours ...Karsten was next to us on the front row of the circle so it was not a distraction to anyone on stage. Also on the front row of the circle we were out of view of attendant's at the entrance at the back. Having said that I don't think the so called camera police were in attendance at Buxton Graham

Hi everyone I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who's been kind enough to respond to my posts on this thread and everyone who's made me feel so welcome in the few weeks I've started to post - you really are a great bunch of friendly people here. Perhaps that's another reason why we all like Hayley so much: she attracts a better class of fan i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif . I hope to meet some of you at Dunstable or Broadlands later in the summer, by which time we may well have our hands on the new Japanese CD. I'm also pleased to see how highly most people have rated this concert which was certainly the best I've seen Hayley perform. I'll leave it to others to say whether it was her best ever concert, but one thing I think is beyond doubt: it was most certainly her best photographed concert! So here's a huge thanks to EVERYONE for all their wonderful photos here. Kind regards Colin

Hayley looks slightly miffed in this photo (see the clenched fists!), but for those of you who were there, you'll remember what Stephany asked just before the picture was taken. For those of you who weren't, all will eventually be revealed... James

I've noticed the word 'Hayleywowed' pop up a few times lately. Do you think if it was used enough that we could get it into the dictionary?

There was a series on TV a little while ago, where a team of people tried to get words added to the 'Oxford English Dictionery'. Who knows, if we use it often enough! Best wishes Grant

Hi everyone Some more great photos and comments on what has to be one of the best Hayley performances that I have seen. Wasn't it great that it was so close to her birthday too, that she should have performed at such a great venue, with such a fantastic audience who were all "Hayleywowed" without a doubt. Oh yes, the Ready Steady Cook question I don't think we need say anymore - it will be great to watch Hayley on the show what ever the outcome. Best regards Mark
