Hello everybody! 
There is a nice little article in today's Shropshire Star.
Hayley returns for festive concert
New Zealand singing sensation Hayley Westenra will return to Shrewsbury Abbey for a sell-out concert tonight.
The 18-year-old wowed a packed audience at the Abbey in an earlier performance last month, and bosses at the abbey said they are looking forward to tonight’s show.
Abbey spokeswoman Gillian Keates said she was thrilled the teenager, whose debut album Pure topped the UK classical charts and entered at number eight in the pop charts, was returning for a second concert.
“This is a real coup, we’re absolutely delighted,” she said.
“This is the only venue on her tour that she has agreed to return to and I am over the moon. It has been a lot of hard work, but it has been worth it.”
Mrs Keates said she was hoping the show would have a real Christmas feel, with the abbey fully decorated and plenty of festive cheer among visitors.
