Hi Max and welcome to the forum. As Comet has already intimated, this is the best place for anything Hayley related! but her voice made me stop and listen. You are not alone here. That's how many of us first discovered Hayley. As for your first concert. Smart-casual is perhaps the best approach. Hayley's concerts are generally fairly informal, so it's really up to you feeling comfortable. Photography can be tricky, Hayley doesn't mind providing you don't use flash and the camera's sensor beam is switched off, but it will often depend on the venue; where you are sitting and how brave you are feeling! I prefer to concentrate on the concert and take pictures afterwards. Ah! Afterwards. It may be an idea for you to go through a few concert threads. Croydon is the most recent and Buxton is on Saturday. Hayley very often will do a signing session after a concert, so you will, most likely, get the chance to meet her. Do not miss this opportunity! She is a fantastic, genuine and down to earth person who loves to meet and talk with her fans. I know there will be several members of HWI present at both concerts who I am sure will look after you! Best wishes Grant

Hi Max , and welcome to the forum!!
Maybe you can take a look here, for news about a gathering of HWI members in Belfast. Are there made some definite arrangements about where we can meet eachother before the concert??? I have never been to Belfast before, the only thing i know is, that i'm in the Travelodge Hotel,Brunswickstreet, and that is about 1.5 km away from the WaterfrontHall. See you there, best wishes from the Netherlands,JOYCE.
(enjoy your holiday in Ireland!!!)

Hi Manpower and welcome. I hope we will help further to deepen your knowledge and appreciation for Hayley.
I'm just rippling through posts prior to departing for Buxton (don't panic other goers, I'm taking a three-night break for a two-night price) and I am sure there will be many answers before I'm back, including how to meet Hayley--if its one of the nights she has time after the show, it is not always in her control although I'm sure it is always in her intentions, if not, I'll post.

27 April is right around the corner and I can’t wait.
This is the first Hayley concert for my daughter and I.
I am looking forward to meeting other HWI members and I hope to be able to meet Hayley after the concert.
We will be staying at the Belfast Holiday Inn.
See you soon, Bob Abrew

Hi Karsten and All Have a great time in Northern Ireland and ensure you sample the traditional Irish Breakfast and of course, draft Guinness beer! And of course, enjoy Hayley as well! Best wishes Martin ....not forgetting Irish soda bread. Hayley got the taste for it while she was in Ireland too. Toasted is much nicer I think. I can't believe how far some people are travelling for this concert! I feel so lucky being less than an hour away!

Hi all, The latest update of HWI members going to this concert. Bob and his daughter Max(power) David Gordon, Paddy Comet and Glenda, Karsten, Irishhayleyfan Tori and Dave, Joyce I don't know if it is time to make some arrangements of a pre gathering, before the concert. I will arrive in the morning at Belfast international airport, i suppose to be in Belfast around 1.00 pm, my check in at the Travelodge Hotel(Brunswickstreet )is 3.00 pm. Karsten , and others travelling from Derry to Belfast, are expected around that time. A pre gathering can start around 4.30/ 5pm in front of the Waterfronthall. Well lets see how things work out, other suggestions are welcome!!! Greetings JOYCE.

Hi Joyce,
Yes,I think meeting up outside the Waterfront Hall from 4.30.pm is a good idea.I am arriving in Belfast on Saturday afternoon so will have plenty of time to look around.
Beat Wishes,
Gordon

Hi all, Have booked flights and accommodation for this. I'll be arriving at Belfast International on Sunday morning, hopefully I should be able to leave my luggage at my hotel prior to checking in later on that afternoon. Depending on when I can do this, 5pm may be a more realistic time to meet up with the rest of you at the Waterfront Hall. We'll see nearer the time. Just to add, for those of you seeing Hayley for the first time, I can promise you will never forget the experience! Best wishes David

Sorry Paddy, it may be a little early for the roses. Perhaps Joyce could oblige with some suitably coloured tulips.

Hi, Drew, 'Looking forward to some expert tips on rose growing. This one's for Hayley and all those travelling to Ireland this coming weekend: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Maybe my HW rose will bloom by September or Christmas, if Hayley comes back again to Ireland then.
