I love the screencap with the thumb up.
Very sweet.
I can't believe you heard "Pokarekare Ana" a cappela...*sigh* i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Loved your report Graeme. Our turn to be jealous for a change

You were obviously very Hayleywowed - what a pity Marianne couldn't have been with you.

Best wishes
Grant

Incidentally, I haven't been able to get the video to play yet It downloaded and comes up on real player, which shows that it is playing but I just get a still picture

[Stephany]

Grant, it's a .MOV file so you should be able to play it with Quicktime.

Graeme,

Can we expect these to be in the main gallery soon??


I have just read your typed report, and I second (or third) the "Wow" above. Splendid job! Very vivid descriptions. Thank you so much for taking the time to report in detail. It makes it that much more enjoyable for us, as we can place ourselves in your shoes. I can almost picture myself sweating and my own heart throbbing as Hayley sings and smiles. Great work!!

Regards,
Eric

I second that.
They deserve to have their place on HWI for prosperity. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif
By the way, Eric, many congratulations for your 100th post and for becoming a full member. Your contribution has brought a lot to the forum and I'm very glad I had the opportunity to "meet" you thanks to it.
Best wishes,
Stephany

I'm not expert on female apparel (or male, come to that!) but could that dress be Japanese?

Roger

Interesting point, Roger. Japanese style, or influence was certainly in my mind when I saw those photographs. However, I dismissed the idea it was a kimono but thought that style of dress had influenced the cut.

Graeme, thank you so much for the fantastic pictures and the great report! I know that it was a long trip for you, but my guess is that is was all worth the effort. You've made the rest of us in this forum very happy indeed! Best, Gene.

Hi Graeme

Wow, those are some fantastic photos, I am so pleased that you got to see Hayley, its just a shame that Marianne wasnt able to join you

I thought Hayley looked happy and relaxed and not tired like she had in some recent interviews

Some "treasured" memories for you Graeme

Thanks do much for sharing.

Best regards

Mark, I'm sure she will be the first in line next time Hayley comes to Australia.

MARIANNE, WE MISS YOU !!!

[Mark]

Hi Stephany

I'm sure that you are right and lets hope that its not that long befor she visits again

Mark

[thomas]

WOW, Graeme! What a wonderful report and pictures!
I'm so glad you met Hayley. I know how much you missed her. That would have been a great event for Marianne as well but you can't have it all. Hopefully you'll both be able to go to her concert as soon as she comes back.

I'm curious about the video ... still downloading.

Best wishes to Australia!

Graeme, that was a nice little video shoot with Hayley's sweet smile liking the result of the soundcheck.

Hi Graeme,

Thanks so much for the excellent report and beautiful photos. I almost felt like I was there! Hayley looks so pretty and very healthy. I'm sure she really enjoyed eating that chocolate! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Cheers,

Hi All & Thanks for your appreciation of the pics etc.
I must say I really enjoyed that time.

On re reading my report I realise that there wasn't much more to say.

Just one more almost irrelevant detail as it turns out.

I hung around a bit longer & decided to ask one more favour of Hayley.
I asked her would she be happy to think up an HWI fans greeting video clip. She agreed straight away & when I asked: Are you ready? she said "yes" & out came this beautiful warm greeting complete with gestures & smiles etc.

It would have been so choice to have as a keepsake ....yes, would have been....I somehow messed it up. All I have is this pic which the camera makes at the beginning of each film clip.


Afterwards she said: You could come to a concert next year (NZ) & I told her that we would bust ourselves to come...she smiled, I wished her all the best for the Celtic Woman Tour & she said: "Bye Bye Graeme"

That was it....A lovely time all told....Graeme
