Hello Leamings  For anyone driving to Leamington tomorrow, I've been looking at parking options. One thing to be aware of is that several of the multi-story car parks close at 8pm.I've chosen St Peter's (CV32 5EL) which is fairly close and open until midnight. Cost for long stay parking is £4.80 There is on street parking, limited to 2 hours during the day, but free after 6pm. More info HERE and scroll down. Hope that helps. Best wishes Grant |

Personally I will still be in Edinburgh at 3pm  Not sure what time I will get to the venue but hopefully catch up with other forum members before the show. On the parking front there is onstreet pay & display parking on Newbold Terrace itself and there is a small pay&display car park to the side of the theatre (but please leave at least 1 space for me) See you tomorrow. |

Have a great time everyone. I look forward to the reports and photos. I could have made this one, but it was sold out before I knew that!

Today's the day! Like Martin (and all the other members from Down Under) I eagerly await news of tonight's performance. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif I wonder if the concert will have the same set list as the others? Time will tell! |

Hi everyone Many thanks Grant for you help with the car-parking - very useful. Although I live only 20 miles or so from Leamington, I havent been there for a while so can't really remember where the venue is in relation to the rest of the town  I will be there between 2 & 3pm - most likely 2.30pm See you all later Mark |

Good morning Jillian! Today's the day! Like Martin (and all the other members from Down Under) I eagerly await news of tonight's performance. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif I wonder if the concert will have the same set list as the others? Time will tell! With several people living close by, I would expect the first reports quite early. I have an hour and a quarter drive home, so should be online by or just after midnight i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifBest wishes Grant |

Just a quick report from the Spa Centre. Didn't get there until about 7.15 but caught with a few other forum members before the show started.
Hayley and Raven were fantastic. I won't attempt a set list as I will leave that to the experts who were taking notes. One thing I will say is that Wuthering Heights was fantastic. And, although I speak no Maori at all, her live rendition of Pokarekare Ana always brings a tear to my eye.
Hayley and Raven did a signing afterwards and was great to meet up with them all again. Stephanie and Natalie have got a cold but their music didn't give any clues to that.
All in all, another fantasic night and I now have both Hayley books signed by the lady herself.
Looking forward to seeing the pictures from the regular camera guys later.
