Cadogan Hall Sunday 30 March 2008 UNCONFIRMED

[drew]

There have been a couple of occasions when I have told Hayley that she is doing a concert before Bedlam have told her, both times I have got it right. Here is another flyer.

Favourite Film and TV Moments

Now who could have Jekyll or Flood without a few vocals?

Hayley is not listed but I've taken a gamble, it worked at RAH.

PS. It ain't confirmed until Roger says so.

Hi Drew,

Thanks for the information and it does seem a reasonable assumption that Hayley would be invited to appear at such a concert but it is by no means certain and a lot could happen between now and then.

Therefore, as some members make travel and hotel arrangements months in advance, I have added "unconfirmed" to the thread title and highlighted it in the body of your message.

Cheers, Dave

Thanks for the info Drew. I notice that tickets are already on sale online and there have been quite a few takers.

Hopefully confirmation or otherwise will be soon.

Hi Drew!

Thank you for the information. The first three seats in the front row are already taken ... let me guess: Steve H., Stuart H. and Roger?

I hope Hayley's participation will be confirmed soon! So we have to wait for further informations from Roger.


There's another quote on the Cadogan Hall website:

Concert in association with British Airways

Maybe I can get a discount. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif
Although I don't know if I could make it because I would need the next day (Monday) off from work.

I have just received the following e-mail back from Debbie Wiseman's PA:

Thank you for your email - Debbie is delighted that you've purchased tickets for her concert on the 30th March and she asked me to reply to you as she's recording in the studio for a couple of weeks.

The concert programme is still to be completely finalised, and it may well be that Hayley makes a guest appearance at the concert, but I'm afraid we won't know for sure until a little nearer the time.

In the meantime, if you enjoyed Hayley and Debbie's performance of "Flood" at the Albert Hall, then you may be interested to hear that the album "Flood" has just been released on Silva Screen Records. The details are below. The album features the song that was performed at the Albert Hall, plus many other pieces from the film. The music is performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and conducted by Debbie.

Looking forward to seeing you at the concert in March - it promises to be a great event so tell all your friends to come along too!

Best wishes,

Tony
Assistant to Debbie Wiseman

So, here's telling you.

Hi Drew,

I booked AA16 on Tuesday after seeing your posting. At only £10 for the front row I thought it was worth taking the risk,you never know we might turn up trumps or should I say Hayley.

How come the seats at the front are cheaper?
Thanks for the information about Debbie's concert, Drew. I probably wouldn't make it even if Hayley was there as a guest artist. I should probably be back in Paris for holiday by then.

Hi Stephany!

The seats a little further in the back are the most expensive ones because the sound shall be there a little better than in the front. So the front row tickets are cheaper.
I've visited the Cadogan Hall twice and I can't confirm that.
For me the front row seats are the best. There you are VERY close to the stage, closer than in the Shepherds Bush Empire.

Thomas

[Stephany]

Hello Thomas,

Thank you very much for the explanation. I think I understand why you prefer front row seats.
For a Hayley concert anyway Do you intend to go to this Cadogan Hall concert?

Stephany

[thomas]

Hi Stephany!

I really intend to go there! But the day is unfortuneately very close to a fair in Frankfurt (the fair is called "Light+Building") where we exhibit our products. Until now I've always had to go there a few days in advance to help building up our stand at the fair. That means that maybe I better fly from Frankfurt to London and stay in Frankfurt a whole week when I come back for the buildup and exhibition. Depends when the buildup starts (Monday or Tuesday after the concert). That will be stressful but to see Hayley it will be worth it.
I only have to ask my boss if he let's me go because I need the Monday off to go back.
But Hayley's attendance must be confirmed first of course. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

I have been advised by Cadogan Hall that the start time of this concert has changed from 19:30 to 19:00. The website is correct.

Hello everyone

I have just received a brochure for the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra's Spring season, which contains this about the concert on 30th March 2008.



Still no reference to an appearance by Hayley

However, I'm sure it will be an excellent evenings entertainment, with, or without Hayley.

Hello everyone

This thread has gone very quiet and there still appears to be no definitive news about whether or not Hayley will be appearing.

Then again ......

I was thumbing through a copy of the March issue of Classic FM magazine, and there is a two page article about Debbie. It makes interesting reading, especially this bit

........ Wiseman's action driven soundtrack features vocals by Hayley Westenra, and in the concert hall it's the soprano's haunting vocal line that ties the piece together. I've had to rethink electronic cues for the orchestra, but the vocal line has made 'Flood' one of my simplest scores to adapt.

I've read that bit several times and cannot make up my mind whether it is saying Hayley will be performing or that she won't!

Best wishes
Grant

P.S. I'm surprised no one else has picked up on this article!

[Martin]

Hi Grant
I've wondered myself whether or not Hayley would be making an appearance, particularly as she is in London. However, I am sure that the Cadogan Hall would have mentioned it by now as even though ticket sales are very good an appearance by Hayley would have boosted them even more (at least to HWI members!).

Anyway, you could always ask her on Saturday? Although unlikley, if Hayley says yes then could I ask you to post an announcement on the Forum as I know of at least one last minute ticket purchase.

Best wishes

Hi Martin

No doubt somebody will ask her and post details but it won't be me I'm afraid as I'm staying over and don't expect to be home until teatime on Sunday.

Best wishes
