Confirmed!

Bedlam Management have confirmed that Hayley will appear at Gawsworth Hall, Macclesfield, Cheshire on Sunday 20th July.

Ha! You beat me to it Roger!

Their web site advises that the full programme will be available in March 2008.

This will be Hayley's third visit to Gawsworth; both previous concerts selling out quickly and were the ONLY concerts on their programme to be completely sold out!

This is one I can get home from without an overnight stay and I certainly intend to book for this one!

Best wishes

Hi Roger and thank you for the information.

You are right Grant, I remember how quickly last year's show sold out.
I'm sure it will be a very similar situation this year so you'd better book as soon as tickets go on sale!

Love
Stephany

Hi Roger,

Thanks a lot for the information.

A nice close concert!

I'll certainly be there, I just need to find a way of getting home, the last train for Stoke leaves at 10.17pm and the Hall looks quite far from the station.

Excellent, this concert is always a really nice evening being outside. Its nice to see shes returning again. I shall certainly go and watch again, although i do find the owners of the place rather rude and there policy over seating really annoys me. They tell you they wont reserve seats and then when you get into the grandstand there all reserved!

Hi Dazza

This is always a good one with, usually, very few people expecting to see Hayley at the end (of course, we know where to go! )

According to Google maps, it is 3.5 miles from Gawsworth to Macclesfield and the hall is out in the country, so you will probably need to find a kind soul to give you a lift, although I don't think you would make that last train.

I agree their 'reserved' seating policy is a bit of a joke perhaps it needs a mention when booking?

Hi Grant,

Thanks for that, yes, it does look out of the way of the town centre a bit.

However it is close enough that I might be able to pursaude my dad to pick me up - the Hall is only 17.7 miles from my house according to google maps.

Hi Dazza

That would be good if your Dad could pick you up. I just looked up my notes and the concert last year finished about 9.45pm.

However, I didn't get back to my car until just after 11pm

Hi

We will certainly be looking forward to going to this concert at Gawsworth Hall. We went two years ago and it was a great day out.The date looks good as it avoids my shift working weekends this time!
Today, I sent an Email to Gawsworth Hall to ask about nearby accommodation. They suggested a Premier Inn, less than 1.5 miles from the Hall.
Here is the link for anyone interested. £52 a night at the moment (breakfast extra)

www.premierinn.com/pti/home.do

Search for - Macclesfield South West
Nothing to lose by reserving a room. It can be cancelled up until 1 pm on the day.

Hi George

Great news! You were missed last year. I hope a few more take up the banner for this one. It is an excellent day out.

See you there!!

Hi Grant

Yes, we were disappointed to miss last year especially as we had purchased our own pop-up gazebo for this event!
So it will be coming with us this year with an open invitation for any members to join us for an afternoon picnic.
Didn't realise you had Hayley all to yourself last year. Better make sure we are there this time then!

Hi George

It wasn't supposed to be like that! I met up with Andy and Vicky at the concert and even arranged with Ray, Hayley's road manager, for them to stop at the usual place so I could introduce them to Hayley and the gang.

In the event, a member of the audience collapsed right at the end of the concert preventing Hayley's planned encore. It also delayed Hayley's departure because she wouldn't leave without going up into the stands to see how the person was.

Consequently, Andy and Vicky decided they couldn't stay any longer as they had to get home to relieve their baby sitter. I elected to stay and by the time Ray drove them out, the place was deserted and all the lights had been turned off. Quite weird being there like that but, needless to say, Hayley made the wait worthwhile!

Best wishes
Grant

P.S. Many thanks for the invitation, I will look forward to joining you!

Hi Grant

Yes, I remember that well now that you say - I was getting confused It sounds like a lovely venue - I've never actually been to an outdoor Hayley concert. Hope to see you there.
