Roger and Caitlin-
It would seem logical to me that since the photo is of Hayley and her family....perhaps it is her younger sister standing behind her in this photo?
Looking forward to hearing who it is.....

Hi Graeme, Thank you for those first three pictures. That forst one is a gem. We have seen one or two of Hayley having a mad moment. They are delightful but rare. Actually, in the first picture, was there someone standing behind Hayley. We can see a red dress with white polka dots but we can't see who is in it. Was it anyone we should know? Looking forward to further instalments! Roger Hi Roger & Donna & All, Your question is easily answered in the pics above....Graeme. |

Graeme, obviously I'm missing out on a lot of fun by living so far away.
But, your beautiful photographs make me feel as though I'm right there with all of you. I'm looking forward to chapter 3!
Regards, Gene

I believe that the painting behind Hayley is the 'Stone Store" the oldest stone building in NZ |

Note: Marianne did the following on my logon....graemeHi All, Just my two cents worth on the Concert......Wondrously Awesome !!! I had a glass of Champagne before the concert ( and one after the concert !! )....I sat quietly waiting for Hayley, then applauded wildly when Hayley arrived on the stage....I couldn' t believe I was actually right there with Hayley in front of me !! When Hayley announced Lascia my eyes lit up instantly, and I poked Graeme in the side.....Hayley noticed of course and mentioned me !!!! ( not by name but my reaction, and then she smiled down on me !!! ) I am sure I applauded the longest and the loudest....nearly stood up for a an ovation but when I looked around no-one seemed to want to join me.....still, the audience did love her and you could hear a pin drop every time she sang !!! I was overhearing someone saying " Hayley wants to meet you" to a young guy....I promptly followed them with Belinda and Graeme in tow and when I saw her I went right up to her and said : " There she is " in my most enthusiastic voice....." There she is", Hayley repeated to my delight !!! She kindly signed the book and a card of a singing Tui bird. We hugged and chatted and had photos taken and hugged some more before Gerald called Hayley away. I was also able to chat with Isaac and with Jill, which was just awesome. Jill is the lovliest person to talk to, right ??!!!!!! Well, Hayley is my STAR....I am so looking forward to Waipara and Blenheim !!!!!!!!!!!!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE....... Love, Marianne

Hello Marianne and Graeme!  Many thanks for your reports and the fabulous photographs. I'm looking forward to seeing more.  Sophie is conspicuous by her absence. Is she away in Germany at the moment? Best Wishes, Richard |

Hi All again, All these pics were taken in the raised foyer at the rear of the Centre after the concert had finished. I had a lovely chat with Hayley & asked her several things & told her a few bits & pieces myself. I told her how much the HWI fans enjoyed the Scarborough Fair version with her vocalisation instead of violins or guitar etc. She didn't remember doing that at Readings Melbourne but did remember her Melbourne Herald Sun TV appearance where she did the same. (most of us would have the clip of that) She also did something just for me but I won't tell you what it is yet. It's a surprise for later on....certainly took me completely by surprise.  Graeme PS Richard. Yes, Sophie is in Germany. PPS Peter T. When she didn't want to do "angry" she proceeded to do one pose after another while I photographed her....she made up each pose for me. No words were spoken....it was just lovely as you can easily see. |

Hi Graeme & Marianne Thanks so much for your heartfelt reports and the photos - so far  What a wonderful time you had - and still more to come. From what you describe of the concert and afterwards, it sounds like my favourite type of Hayley concert - a smallish audience, total quiet when she is singing and a relaxed meeting/signing afterwards. I always feel that Hayley is at her best and certainly most relaxed in this sort of setting. Graeme, I cant wait now to hear what your surprise is Don't keep us waiting too long Best wishes to you both Mark. |
