Excellent photos Grant. It's quite obvious that you enjoy taking the photos as much as the reporting.

Look forward to more.

Thank you Grant for the great report! You always take us with you, like being there as well. Must have been an incredible concert like the one in Telford.
Fabulous pictures too. I can't wait for more.

I'm excited about Karsten's review. Hayley for the first time ... WOW! He will be hayleywowed! I think he's going to see her tonight again so we have to wait until he's back home.

Everybody else who's going, have fun tonight!!!

Hi Thomas

Glad you enjoyed my report and pictures. More to come from me though you will have to wait a while for Karsten's as I think he said he doesn't return home until 7th August.

Best wishes
Grant

Sorry to keep you waiting. I'm working through over 90 images as quickly as I can!

Here are a few to keep you going

Probably the last for tonight.

Hi All,

Just back from Shrewsbury and catching up with the forum. Well Grant I think you have excelled yourself with you photos and report,glad I made it in time to see Hayley arrive. I was certainly pleased that Grant and Karsten made the effort to meet me at the station, just a shame that Arriva Trains Wales are prone to cancellations.

I have little to add to Grant's report except to concur with has remarks regarding One Fine Day which I think was outstanding,another exellent concert Hayley we are proud of you.

Well I expect you are waitng to hear about my telling off now that Grant has spilled the beans so to speak. It was concerning the taking of photos during the concert.During the encore Amazing Grace I decided to try a few shots without using flash having not used my camera up until then.After the concert and before Hayley appeared for a signing and photos session Ray told me that Hayley saw me taking photos and had been distracted by it. I offered my apologies and felt that I had let Hayley and HWI down.

When the queue had died down I naturally went to Hayley to say sorry about what had happened. She told me not to worry but said she had been waiting for the flash and was confused when it did not come.I then said " I feel embarrassed now " to which Hayley responded "Oh don't be " Then, completely unexpectantly I recieved a big hug from Hayley and with heads together I said " I like your hairspray " to which Hayley jokingly replied "Don't even go there ". You will need see the ITV This Morning clip to appreciate this.

Suitalbly forgiven,I shortly afterwards left the Abbey with Grant wondering if he could still smell the hairspray on me. Once Grant left Karsten saw me back to my hotel and I wished him all the best for the Saturday concert and the rest of his visit to England.

Gordon( definitely westenwowed )

PS I promise to be a good boy in future!!!

Hello Grant !

Oh, Hayley is so pretty and serene in your photos. Yeah, I liked Hayley's earrings...and that gold handbag. Nice to see Ian, Fiona and Mischa in their casual gear.

Edit: Oh, I see you've posted photos of Hayley at the autograph session...brilliant!

Hello Gordon!

Glad to hear you've enjoyed yourself at the concert. Don't be concerned about your camera flash...you aren't the first. No harm done.

My camera flashed unexpectly at my first Hayley concert. I thought I was going to be nicked straight away.

Thanks for sharing, Gordon !

Thanks Grant, Gordon, & Karsten.

Beautiful shots Grant of a very much so subject.

Shots & excellent reports give us a good feel of the warm atmosphere of the concert.

I always prefer Hayley shots in natural outside light....that's when the word *beautiful* really comes into its own.

What were the numbers by the way? Or did I miss that in the reports?

Hi Gordon!

Nice to hear that you made it in time for the concert despite the cancellation of your train. I must confess that I'm a little jealous of you all who attended that wonderful concert and Karsten even is going to see her twice, a very wise decision.

It's very nice from Hayley to forgive you the little faux pas with the camera. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif I don't think she was very angry. So many people take photos of her and many using flash light during the concert. It's good that we use flash light only when Hayley is off stage.

Gordon, don't promise such things. You might regret it one day.
