Dress code for Hayley concerts

[stevemacdonald]

What should you wear to a Hayley Westenra concert? I see that some have the HWI garb and the tartan ties, but what should the rest of us wear? I propose a dress code and a very practical one at that!

• If it's your first time seeing Hayley in person, you should wear something white on top - a white shirt, blouse or tie will work. This will signal the performers (Hayley, Fiona, Ian, etc) that first-timers are in the house.
  
  
• If you've seen her fewer than five times, a bit of green will do nicely.
  
  
• If it's anywhere between your 5th and 10th Hayley event, a solid maroon will announce your presence respectably.
  
  
• Should this be your 11th - 25th time seeing her, the beautiful HWI blue seems entirely appropriate.
  
  
• Over 25 times -- the best color would be golden!
  

This code seems like a fair way to organise the fans and it might serve as an ice-breaker among concert-goers. It also cues Hayley as to whom she is singing for. No doubt she'll enjoy seeing a healthy mix of "colors" in the audience. If she sees a lot of newbies out there her selection of songs could even shift to accommodate them!

Sorry, Steve, but I never wear green and I should want to wear as I please....
Lots of love, Marianne

Thanks for the post, Steve.
I may be wearing my HWI polo (white/pink) for my first meeting with Hayley unless it's too hot inside the venue. We'll be standing at Shepherds Bush so I'll probably wear something else...

Thats good to know, I wear whiteish shirts mostly anyway, so the first time I see her, i will wear one of them. Won't see her to probably next year and when I do, I don't want to look too casual. Had my eye on a dark purplish silk shirt, but it was £50 and now gone. Would have been nice to waer that one to a concert of hers.

Okay, what happens if it's your first time seeing Miss Westenra and you only have only colour shirt - and it's not white?

The best thing to do in this instance is give your ticket to me.

That's what money is for Mac! If you can afford the concert ticket, surely you can afford one of Belinda's HWI polo's

Best wishes

Hi Mac,

Don't worry too much I am sure this thread was only started for a bit of fun and was never meant to be anything other than that, what you wear is up to you, I certainly will continue to wear what I chose to Hayley concerts and I am sure that goes for the vast majority of members of this forum, lets hope you get to see Hayley soon! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif
