Hi Stephany Thanks for this find. I'm a big admirer of Don Black but not big enough to pay these steep prices. Looks like I'll have to enter Michael Ball's competition. Best wishes Martin

Thanks for the tip-off, Stephany! Those prices are too steep for me too, so I'll listen to the show on the radio. Richard

Thanks Stephany.
Timj mentioned this event to me in a PM about a week ago. I asked Bedlam for confirmation immediately but have heard nothing from them. If anyone going to Dunstable tonight sees any of them, please try to obtain confirmation that Hayley will be appearing.
Thanks, Roger

Confirmed
Steve Abbott has confirmed Hayley's involvement to our members in Dunstable tonight. Thanks to Gordon, our Dunstable Roving Reporter, for phoning the information through to mission control!

According to Jonathan's blog
"Next weekend I am singing at the Don Black tribute show, for his birthday. Hayley and I are duetting on Amigos Para Sempre. It will be great to sing at the London Palladium for the first time, especially for such an amazing event."
So they are singing together again and I think they will be able to do a wonderful interpretation of this track which will do them both a lot of good as the original by Sarah Brightman and Jose Carreras left a bit to be desired!
Will let you all know more after the show

According to Jonathan's blog "Hayley and I are duetting on Amigos Para Sempre.Oh I love this song so much and I do look forward to hearing Hayley and Jonathan doing a duet on it. Oh by the way Steve, if Hayley's gonna sing Amigos Para Siempre, she'll be singing a Lloyd Webber piece as a Decca artist. Tin

I hope somebody will record this. I will miss it since I will be in a plane, probably somewhere over the Indian Ocean attempting to get back from Sydney in time for Sunday's bash at Lincoln Castle. But I suppose it might still be available on the BBC website after I get back.

I'm so happy that Jonathan and Hayley are going to be duetting again. Sadly Im not able to go to the London Palladium to see them but I am looking forward hugely to listening in on 22nd August with my tape at the ready. I second Dilog's post re the photos taken on this site. You have some absolutely wonderful photographers on here - the photos of Hayley are superb. I hope some of you might be able to be at the LP to take Hayley and Jonathan together. Fingers crossed. Brilliant that they are working together again - their voices are so lovely together. Such a bonus to have this duet as well as If You're Not the One on Jonathans Forever album! Double the delight! Love Melody xx
