Too long to wait?

Hi All,

A major factor which people should also remember to consider in the "equation", before voting, was Hayley's involvement with UNICEF and the bicycle appeal. Just to remind everyone, Hayley's 'Winter Tour 2004' Concert Programme, included the following text:

"I also hope to spend a good deal of my efforts next year working with UNICEF, including a field trip to Africa to help highlight the fantastic work UNICEF are doing. Please take the time to check out UNICEF's website, www.unicef.org The stories are heart-wrenching, but need to be read."

Although jet planes are fast, Hayley's field trips to Africa will have consumed a lot of her time and energy.
Would it really have been feasible to expect the production of an additional album before the release of 'Odyssey' under the given circumstances? Personally, I think not.

Incidentally Hayley, there's some more plugging for UNICEF!

Regards,

Andrew

The big unknown is how many it sold by pledge at the time of the original PBS broadcasts in the US. We may never know... but I wouldn't have thought many, due to the high cost of pledges compared to the usual cost of DVDs in the shops. Dave

Hi Dave,
This is true...many PBS stations offer concert DVD's at a high pledge level, usually around $150. Some of us lucky devils were able to pledge for Hayley tickets.
