Hi everyone,

According to www.hayleywestenra.com , Hayley will be headlining the ITUNES FESTIVAL LONDON on Tuesday 29th July.

The Festival, now in its second year, features a wide variety of artists and we're thrilled that Hayley is taking part this year. Her live set will be recorded on the night and we will be making the music available to download on iTunes soon after the event.

We have a limited number of tickets to give away absolutely free.! All you have to do is click here to enter the competition.

Make sure you are free to come down to Koko in Camden, London on the 29th.

Full iTunes terms and conditions can be seen here

Hi Stephany

Thanks for finding this.

For those people in the UK, ITV2 have been broadcasting the iTunes festival throughout the month, so we'll need to keep our eyes open in case Hayley's on TV.

Kind regards

Colin

From Simon Lole's Blog (July):

On Tuesday 29, I shall be MD for Hayley Westenra for a concert for i Tunes in London.

Just did a quick search on the Ahn Trio (Three Korean American sisters) to see if they might be used by Hayley on the "River Of Dreams" Cruise.

It would appear that the I Tunes Festival is a one off.

They have a very clever web site:

Tickets for this are by competition/ballot only. However, a small number of free tickets will be available at the door.

Yes, I had an email asking me to enter the competition. But I didn't bother, since getting there would be a problem, not enough time after work, where I have commitments).

I'll be giving this one a miss too.

Edit: I've been persuaded, so I'll be there after all. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Hi guys,

Me too!

A little investigating has revealed that all the performers are recording six (in one case seven) tracks fo make an iTunes "EP" and I expect Hayley to do the same.

Track listings are not being revealed until after each recording.

It is, therefore, possible that more than six songs will be recorded and/or that retakes may be allowed, if needed. Therefore, something similar to Hayley's BBC Radio recording session in Cardiff a year or two back is quite likely, I'd say.

I've had a look on iTunes in several countries and some (or all) of the recordings are being made available on iTunes Worldwide, including the UK, US and NZ so let's hope Hayley's is too!

There seem to be (free!) tickets still available for Hayley's concert next Tuesday and although the doors open at 7:30, we must be there before 8:15 so there's a bit more flexibility than usual for the workers among us. So come on everyone, let's fill up KOKO (formerly Camden Theatre) for Hayley and give it some atmosphere!!! Ticket applications here!

Cheers, Dave

Hi Dave, Drew & everyone

It seems that I too have won free tickets I do hope that I can still go, it was the case when I applied for the tickets.

This sounds like it could be a good event. How many people does the venue hold, does anyone know ? Also, is it seated or standing do you think ? I'm just wondering if there will be lots of people about getting there early ?

Any tips or hints from anyone who knows anything would be useful.

The venue isnt far from marylebone station, so not too bad for me. The reading says the headline act comes on at around 8pm, for around 45 minutes, so again. time to catch the last train back.

Regards
Mark

Looks like we all have!

Where did you find the times Mark? If it's over by 8.45/9.00pm I could concievably get home.

I'd like to be there though, especially if there's a crowd of us going and I suppose I could always stay at Central Croydon Travelodge!

Best wishes
Grant

Hi All

I too have won tickets. I have not acknowledged them yet until it is certain we can both get the day off work.
I really want to be there, especially if there is a good turnout from HWI.
