Ballantyne Haines

[Ross]

Ballantyne is another young lass from Christchurch who sings classical music and released her debut album in May 2007.
I only bought this album recently but I think Belinda has written about her on another website. I think she has recently finished school.She has a very fine upper register and after listening to her sing for a while she reminds me of Charlotte Church.

Album is titled Land Of Hearts Desire
