Will post it soon as I can. Photo in UK, I'm in Germany soon to go back to Iraq for second time. Got my fiance looking out the photo to send. Would be good to keep in touch throughout deployment to Iraq again.

Will have a few songs of hayley with me.

Good luck out there - I had a couple of people from the forum keeping in touch with me while I was out there for my tours.. even got to see Hayley in concert when I was on leave.

Did the end of Telic 3, all of 4, and start of 5. 10 months of fun, games, and the (then) new Subway at Shaibah Yum!

Hi Alan,

The album is currently available at Amazon.co.uk for £14.49. For an Australian import, that is relatively inexpensive. I'm sure I paid more for mine when I bought it from HMV in London!

Hello Alan

Many thanks for posting your amazing photographs with Hayley. She has commented on a number of occasions how special that version of Amazing Grace was - you must be very proud.

It was something I will never forget. Just wish I could get a chance to do it again in the future.

Hi Alan,

Those photographs are wonderful and serve as a great memento of Hayley's early career. Presumably, this is the first time they have been seen outside your own circle of friends in which case, HWI are privileged that you have chosen to share them with us. Many thanks!

Thanks for posting the photographs, Alan!

I'm not surprised to see that Hayley had great poise at such a young age. She was already looking like a true star. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

I hope you manage to catch up with Hayley again soon. You'll both have plenty to talk about!

Best Wishes,

Richard

Hi Alan,

I'm absolutely delighted to see these "Braw" photographs of you with Hayley... These photographs are certainly very unique and I'm sure everybody at 'HWI' will agree that these pictures will always remain outstanding "milestone" pictures which capture Hayley at such a crucial stage of her singing career... 2001 was the year/ era when it all really started to take off for Hayley wasn't it? When I look at those photographs I think it's fantastic to know that she was that very day recording the live version of 'Amazing Grace' (with you Alan and the other pipers and drummers of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards too) which was to appear on her self-titled 'Hayley Westenra' CD, which along with 'My Gift To You' (Hayley's 2nd official CD) were important stepping stones for 'Pure' which followed just 2 years later. So we see a smiling Hayley in those photographs just 2 years prior to releasing 'Pure' - and her subsequent huge international success following! How eloquent Hayley seems even then... and that's before she had taken her first steps up onto the "world class stage"... She's "such a natural and so lovely with it!". I've heard those same words from so many different people time and time again... only because it's so true!
Alan thanks a million for sharing your beautiful photographs of Hayley with us... Sir! I'm sure your original photograph prints will be very well cherished!

Absolutely First-Class!

Incidentally I haven't forgotten about your "Westenra of Christchurch NZ" tartan silk tie BTW... I'll post it ASAP... i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

I'm totally chuffed!

Amazing, I can't believe you actually performed with Hayley back in 2001. Truly remarkable indeed

Many thanks for your exceptional pictures, Alan.
