Hi Thomas, Thanks for the very detailed review of the concert! Was an interesting read. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifIn regards to your note about Marmite...I don't think you purely "love or hate it"... I used to hate it very much throughout my childhood, but just recently I have found out I like it, and enjoy having it on toast from time to time... so for me it was an acquired taste (like Wine and Vegetables ).. but I know some people like it from when they were kids! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifOh and BTW, the British Marmite is meant to be different from the New Zealand (Sanitarium) Marmite...but they are probably still similar in taste! Cheers Jono

Hello Thomas I am very pleased that you at last found time to write your report, I enjoyed reading it very much. I was also found your experience with marmite very amusing - I have enjoyed it since I was very small although I'm not sure I would have it at breakfast. Very yummy on hot buttered toast as a bedtime snack though i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifI think Hayley's new song "Talk To Me" is going to be a favourite with many fans, I particularly like her 'folksy' intonations in some of the lyrics. Hope it's on the new album! Best wishes Grant

Hi Steve, If you have an (as small as) 80Meg file you can upload it yourself you know. It is the half Gig plus ones that are the problem! Martin Hi Martin, Thanks for the tip, however this is to be an official HWI video, and therefore it needs Dave to mark it as such and upload it onto the main HWI site. Thanks again for you help though! Steve P.S Give my regards to Sue!

Hi Thomas, Thank you for your wonderful Concert Report! You have a great eye and memory for detail and you honestly had me in stitches at times too!!! Your report was very refreshing to read and left a smile on my face. You're right - your thoughfulness for Hayley definitely would have been appreciated- i.e. your very apt gift of the honey for Hayley - Good move Thomas!!! I'm gutted to hear that you don't like Marmite though! Pity... Andrew

Hi Thomas, Thanks for your report..... I think it is fair to say that Marmite is an 'acquired taste' Best Wishes, Graham

Hello Thomas! Thanks for your excellent review, and it was great to meet you again in Southend. I don't like Marmite either, but I can highly recommend Frank Cooper's marmalade. Best Wishes, Richard

Actually I love Marmite. Just to provide balance. And I was brought up on Bovril! But Bovril isn't vegetarian!

Oh, when is the video going to be posted? Not to be impatient or anything...

With all of you saying "Talk to Me" is going to be one of your favorite songs, it makes it even harder to wait. Was it slow, or something more like Summerfly?
What's the holdup, anyway?

Hello Libby! 'Talk To Me' is a slow ballad, but perhaps slightly faster than 'Sonny'. I'm looking forward to seeing the video too, and I was there. Richard

Here is the video in question, sorry about the delay, let's just say there were internal 'administration' issues! not to mention the tweeterwall competition, in amongst which it would have been buried!

WOW!!!!! Fantastic video Steve and Dave. I've been really looking forward to hearing "Talk To Me" again and it was well worth the wait. Incidentally, I hadn't realised just how serious Hayley looked whilst she was playing. Deep concentration? or Deep in thought? Either way - Brilliant!!Best wishes Grant

That is absolutely wonderful. It seems like a Hayley we have never seen before. I absolutely love it! If that is a measure of the quality of Hayley's new songs, she need have no fears about recording or performing them.
