Stephany had the longest journey home. She was supposed to return to Paris through the Channel Tunnel, but she was flying so high after the concert she was over the moon!

Hi Stephany.
When I try to download the videos
It appears to be down loading from ******.****.free.fr.
The blue bar fills for a few minutes
But when I look in DOWNLOADS on my PC I cannot find them.

I'm very puzzled too Did you not right click with your mouse on the file and they select where you want the files to be downloaded?

4th September 2007 - A Great night of Kiwi fun at London’s Shepherds Bush Empire!
This was a great night of fun and music..

For those of you in NZ who don’t know Shepherds Bush Empire, it is a great music venue that a lot of international rock bands play at. It was so funny to do a concert in London where I heard more Kiwi accents than British.. When I did my solos I even got to talk about places like the Mussel Inn in Golden bay and hear the crowd cheer...

Even the band was half Kiwi and the other half were honorary Kiwis for the night!

It was lovely to perform with Dave Dobbyn for the first time and we had a great time rocking out playing Bob Dylan's song 'Hurricane'.. Another chance for me to live out my rock chick dream! The audience was treated to Dave and Hayley singing some famous Kiwi tunes like 'Six Months in a Leaky Boat'... It was a great experience for me to direct this show and work with such fantastic musicians... .. I hope that we can bring this much Kiwi fun to London again!

Hello Gene!

Tim travelled the furthest to see Hayley at Shepherds Bush, coming all the way from Pennsylvania.

Perhaps surprisingly, Caitlin had the shortest journey. She comes from Minnesota, but at the moment she's living in Central London. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Stephany had the longest journey home. She was supposed to return to Paris through the Channel Tunnel, but she was flying so high after the concert she was over the moon!

Best Wishes,

Richard

Thank you, Richard for that information....I'm only 10 minutes from Pennsylvania and I suppose I could have figured out a way to sneak into Tim's luggage. Tim...fair warning for next time!

I noticed a shooting star circling the moon the day after the concert. I didn't realize it at the time, but it had to be Stephany. In fact, there were two shooting stars circling the moon. The second one looked a lot like Caite!
Regards, Gene

Stephany, that's a great find on Fiona's website and what an honour for Stuart!

Hi Stephany,

Thanks for the link to Fiona's site. I don't know if they are planning to include any more photographs but I sent through a total of 13 to Ian from both Steve and Stuart. It might be worth watching. After all, if they are both to be famous, I wanna know about it!

Roger do you realize how hard your question is?! Booking for Shepherd's Bush was SUCH a long time ago. I really wanted to go to another concert before I began work and I had always wanted to go to a Ceili so this concert had a certain appeal. I'm glad (so glad!) I did.

Thank you absolutely everyone for making the concert special. To Fiona for excellent musical directing (and music herself!), to Dave Dobbyn for his music and Kiwi anthems, to Hayley for a stellar performance as usual, and for taking a risk and branching out from your usual style. Thanks to Steve Abbott and all of Bedlam Management for their never-ending support and for all the work they do that we don't see. To the crowd and fans for without you there wouldn't have been that special atmosphere.
And to all the HWI-er's for their fantastic reviews, pictures and of course company.

<3 Caitlin

HI everyone,
Thanks for all the videos - they are finally working for me!!!
What a stunning concert, i have to say. Hayley should be proud of herself. I particularly love her performance of Pokarakara Ana. When she performs that sing, she really makes my eyes water. Both, her voice, and her body language are so angelic. It's priceless.
Thanks everyone!

Hi Folks.
This is as good a place in this thread as any to thank Drew on behalf of everyone who has watched and heard and enjoyed these great pieces of video from Shepherds Bush Empire Theatre.

To take video like this you sacrificed your own enjoyment of this wonderful event, your concentration is on keeping the subject in the viewfinder. Which was not always easy as Hayley was certainly moving about the stage. You watch the show through the viewfinder and you missed the big LIVE VIEW for us. There were a couple of moments in some of the videos when you would think Hayley had spotted the camera as she seems to look straight into the lens . I would imagine you were thrilled to watch some of the videos yourself and possibly only then realised how good the concert had been. We will all be eternally grateful for your commitment to the subject of the evening and your efforts to record it for us and those who come after us.

THANKS Drew you are a STAR

Just so that Fiona does not feel left out, I have already uploaded 'Fire Fly' to YouTube:

Both posts (Fire Fly, I Hope I Never) credit Fiona as 'Director' in their descriptions.

(And I was the one who said I hope I never post to YouTube.)
