Too quick for me Roger.
Did he also mention that the "River of Dreams" CD will include a duet with Jonathan Ansell?
Please move to correct thread, I must get dressed.

Hello Roger, Thank you very much for passing the info along (many thanks to Gordon as well  ). This is wonderful news - I had been waiting anxiously for details regarding Hayley's Christmas concerts. However, this particular concert is the same day than my school prom so I won't be there! Hopefully there will be a few others in the same area. Stephany  |

Hi Roger and Gordon, to second Drew and Stephany - you're faster than light. Many thanks for the information.  Hi Stephany, it's a pity that you couldn't be there, but I suppose there'll be a few other concerts, too. Visitor information: www.barbican.org.uk/visitor-informationA few pictures: www.gianni.me.uk/Barbican_brochure.pdf (cf. pages 6/7) Some further information re the seating: www.theatremonkey.com/BARBICANHALLbooking.htmBTW, I booked G31. A question to all London experts - are there reasonably priced accommodations available, near the venue - if possible ? Any recommendation is highly appreciated. Many thanks in advance. All the best, Karsten |

Hi Irish-Hayley-Fan,
Details of all events of which we are aware have been posted. The fact that the Barbican event was mentioned to our members by Hayley's manager tonight suggests that this might be the only event at around that time. If there were any others, I suspect he would have mentioned them too.
That is not to say that another event won't be added later but, at this stage, we are not aware of anything.
Roger

Hello Karsten and everyone
This must be a first for me! I have just booked G30 and have also booked into Croydon Central Travelodge.
Steve did not say anything about any other Christmas concerts, but this will certainly be the last Hayley event for 2008 as she flies home to New Zealand on Sunday 21st December.
I have a feeling this is going to be a highlight of our Hayley year!
Night night
Grant

Hi Grant, Many thanks for the hint - I just booked two nights at the Travellodge - for a really reasonable price, to my mind. (And its only a 40 minutes journey from East Croydon to Barbican Station.) Cheers, Karsten |

Hi Grant,
Sorry to spoil your Christmas but I have just booked G29. I notice that G32 has also been sold and I wonder if it has gone to one of us and we have the start of another Hayley Row like at Croydon.

Hi
I have booked Row G as well. Their online booking system is excellent.
I have not heard " Who painted the moon black" sang live for a long time.
Cheers
Tony
