Hi Grant Those are really great close-ups in Post #13 and oh, those eyes !  But what intrigues me is where were you standing to take the latter two shots? Were you standing on a step? Best wishes Martin |

Very detailed and excellent reports as usual Grant. See you (and Hayley !) in Bournemouth next Wednesday. At the moment it's mild and dry - hope it stays that way ! (Ooh I've just realised I've clocked up 500 posts ! Not bad for someone who doesn't have a computer !!)

Hello everyone and thank you all for you appreciative comments regarding my report and pictures. Believe me, the report was written with great enthusiasm!! Martin, not sure why you think I was above Hayley because in the latter one, I was actually crouching down! Best wishes Grant |

I hope though that her apology at the start, increasing the number of songs, Hayley performed, the reduction of Raven's slot and the addition of Alexei was not a response to a certain out of order criticism of the Bridgewater Hall concert. But I fear it might have been. Not at all Martin! Both at Llandudno and Cardiff it was prompted by a member of the audience. The increased number of songs was down to the addition of the duet with Alexei and the 'one off' additional Japanese encore. Adding a guest in the shape of Alexei would not have answered the Manchester critic who wanted more Hayley. The unpleasant episode after Bridgewater Hall has had enough of an airing now and should be put behind us and consigned to the recycle bin! Best wishes Grant Indeed, least said soonest mended although it does prove that Hayley reads her official forum, even if on this occasion we wished she hadn't ! |

Hi Jeff Indeed, least said soonest mended although it does prove that Hayley reads her official forum, even if on this occasion we wished she hadn't ! I rather hope she read it on this forum, at least then she would have seen the contempt with which it was received. Best wishes Grant |

I don't think she reads the official forum, because she would have had to re-register. If she's not registered, she can't read posts. Somehow, I doubt she's taken the time to re-register. It was a pain that they did that, and we seemed to have lost a lot of the original people on the old one.  Anyway, the negative post about Bridgewater was deleted there, too, thankfully. |

Hi Libby,
Actually I was glad they redid the official forum, since it meant I could post there again. I had been locked out for some time before then. And I know I'm not the only one.
Actually, I was not aware you had to register to READ that forum, but you need to register if you want to post there.
