Actually, just occurred to me that it would be a brilliant stroke to add Hayley's "The World in Union" to the UK and Maori versions as a bonus track! Now there's a thought!

Hi Martin Right, this one is a bit special. More than a bit actually.
Grant will enjoy this one I know. You're not wrong! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifThat was the highlight for me notwithstanding the amazing set list - I've waited 7 years hoping to hear Hayley sing it live, never thinking that she would after so long. I made sure after the concert that Hayley knew what it meant to me to actually hear her sing it. Best wishes Grant

Hi Dave & Martin
I don't generally take much notice of band members - it's just that this time they were mentioned in the programme. Other than those Martin has mentioned, Bryony James is also part of the Pavao Quartet with Kerenaz.
Daniel Boys was Hayley's guest singer and is actually quite well known. He appeared in BBC TV's "Any Dream Will Do" in 2007 and I think he's currently in the West End appearing in Phantom .
His two sets went down very well with the audience.
Best wishes Grant

The bit at the end with HayleyWith a late start and a very full programme, the concert finished at ten past ten as we emerged into the cool but pleasant night air and made our way around to the stage door where a number of fans and well wishers had already gathered. It was a friendly gathering too with everyone still in very high spirits after a remarkable and memorable evening. Several members of the band appeared and disappeared, and loading of the tour bus for the return journey commenced with Ash reassuring us that Hayley would appear soon. And she did, at around 11 o’clock. Despite us all being on a fairly small walled deck adjacent to the stage door, everything was very civilised with everyone taking their turn to chat to Hayley; to have a photo with her; to get something signed; or to find that spot for the ‘best picture’. I’m in the latter group to begin with – it’s important that us regulars let those people who may not have met her before have their time with Hayley. Time for us later and if their isn’t time a quick wave will suffice as we know our time will come again. For me, I’m very happy to be “snapping” Hayley again after a 7 month lull and, as quite often happens, I find myself taking pics for other people – I was very happy to perform this duty for Eugene’s “lady” as he refers to her (happy with the results Eugene – will look to send them on shortly). Now, does anyone remember the “Have a break, have a kit-kat” episode at Buxton where Sue Dixon rescued a bemused Hayley from an over enthusiastic fan? Well, he turned up at Kings Lynn! I mentioned to Ash so that he might remind Hayley to prepare her to expect the unexpected so to speak and he seemed appreciative. When his time came, he presented Hayley with a holdall - filled with chocolate apparently – didn’t want the holdall back. Oh well, I guess Hayley is used to the occasional eccentric. She treated it all with great amusement and giggles. The guy even had his picture taken with Hayley – thought he might want a copy but, he promptly disappeared into the night and normality returned! With the crowd thinning and time pressing – Hayley had already spent 15 minutes with us and the late finish would obviously impact on the time they would get back to London, so I did thank Hayley for a wonderful evening and told her that I had been waiting 7 years to hear her sing I Dreamed A Dream. I think she may have misunderstood initially because she apologised but I quickly pointed out that it had been well worth the wait and had fulfilled one of my dreams. I also managed to quickly pass on best wishes from Graeme and Marianne in Australia and several of our more local members who had asked to be remembered to her. Moments later they were aboard the tour bus and on their way home, leaving behind some very happy and contented friends. Had several chats with Sara ( confirmed with her that her name is pronounced as Sarah) from Bandana during the afternoon and evening whilst Hayley was around and we explained to her why we spend so much time around stage doors waiting to see Hayley - it always amuses me to tell people that we spend more time waiting to see Hayley at stage doors than we do watching her perform but that it's part of the social aspect of HWI following Hayley as a group of friends. I think she understood! Good night all! Grant

Hello Peter and everyone Third. Our heroine. Her rendition of these songs tells the world she is not a singer! She is a full-blooded showgirl. In her voice, you can hear the characters she is acting. This is an actress ready for a West End musical. I would have longed to see how she was on stage. I am sure she would have given away just how much she wanted to swirl her dress and tap her feet. Not only was her rendition wide-ranging in her song interpretations but that diverse interpretation had depth. Mmmm! And from my Kings Lynn concert report .... Great minds think alike Best wishes Grant
