Hi Graeme That is a truly wonderful performance! Whilst I am not a great Blake fan, they do work very well on this one with Hayley, and it is one of my favourite pieces. Having listened to it now though has just reminded me how much I am missing Hayley. Roll on next Saturday!  Best wishes Grant |

Hi Martin, To save Dave the time I'm uploading "O Holy Night" now to my mediafire account. I'll put the download link here as soon as I've finished the upload. Watch this space: download the 18.88 Mb .wmv file from here: www.mediafire.com/?xxnqpnyfnkhGraeme Thanks for that Graeme. I guess I would have needed to PM the file to Dave so that he could put it somewhere. I do have a website, but there is not enough space for that file, I only have 50Mb in total and most of that is full. Martin |

Hi everyone, I have also listened to the CD 'Blake' today. ( It is amazing what you can do when you shut the doors to the outside world ! ) Grant, I actually quite like them, i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif although as said in a post to Joyce earlier I do prefer some of the tracks by the original artists, However I have just fully seen the download I did earlier today ( Thanks again Graeme) Blake and Hayley both blend well when singing together, and also contrast each other in their separate individual pieces. Altogether a good combination I feel Another thing to look forward to at Broadlands.  Graham |

To get back on topic, the CD single "Where do you go from here?" performed by Hayley Westenra & Blake will appear on the Japanese version of Blake's album. They are due to visit Japan in May to promote their debut album so it was probably the right timing to release it, especially with Hayley also visiting Japan in June! You can order the single on HMV Japan: www.hmv.co.jp/product/detail/2708500. It's released on 21 May 2008. Stephany |

Hi Stephany At CDJapan, this CD is only Yen952 (HMV is Yen1000). Also, if you have pre-ordered Either of Hayley's new Japan CD's, and you don't mind waiting, you can add this to your open order and save on postage. The choice is yours. Lots of Love Grant  |

At CDJapan, this CD is only Yen952 Hi Grant, CD japan looks a good move for all three CD's. What method of carriage do you suggest of the ones they offer  Graham |

What method of carriage do you suggest of the ones they offer Hi Graham I always go for the default which is Air Mail. Don't be put off by the 'could take up to 8 weeks' in red. Delivery from Japan is very hot and items I've ordered from CDJapan in the past usually arrive within a few days of ordering or, in this case, CD release date! Best wishes Grant |

Hi Grant,
I have Pre Ordered all three.
No real problem except the 'need to load language pack' that kept shooting up, and hence slowing things down !

Hi all, The cover of this CD and a 46-second sample is available here. You need to scroll down a bit and click on the  image to launch the sample. I don't think I will buy this CD. Not because it's Blake  , but because after hearing the sample I'm not convinced I'll like the song! Stephany |

Hi Stephany Having listened to the clip I have to say that I'm not mad about the song either. But then it is Hayley, so I was thinking that maybe I should add it to my collection......... ......... luckily I checked the thread and my outstanding orders at CD Japan - 'cos I've already ordered it!   Lots of Love Grant |

Thanks Stephany, The 'acoustics' sounded strange on my computer It sounded a bit like it was in a live show from a Victorian Music Hall Graham |

It sounds an absolute mess! Perhaps it would be better to hear the whole song, rather than just a short bit at the end.
Too late now though, I ordered it weeks ago!

Hi Grant and everyone, You can listen to another sample of the song here. This time you will be able to listen to Hayley more than Blake. If you're wondering why this song is on the Hotel Alphard website, it's because the boys are doing a small show in this hotel on May 21st from 3pm to 4pm. They are currently promoting their album in Japan and I've read on Blake's forum that they are supposed to do some promotion of their single with Hayley this week. Stephany xxx |
