Thanks everyone, Update: I have now figured out how to convert the satellite files and have started... but it is VERY SLOW and is taking mountains of hard disk space. I'll probably have to do them one at a time and it may be spread over a few days... so watch this space but don't hold your breath! I will aim to do one or two of the songs before bedtime tonight but with setting up testing and recording I've already been at it for 8 hours today so no guarantees! Cheers, Dave |

Hi everyone, OK, I've got a system now and here's the first video... these will all be "long" versions including introductions and dialogue, I thought you'd prefer that. I'll shorten them for the website and YouTube to go straight into the music. Sorry the files are so big (all around 100 MB, XVID at 3mbps) but anyone who can't get them will be able to view much smaller versions on HWI and YouTube. Let me know if yiou can't play the files - everyone should be able to play XVID, it's a common standard, plays fine in my Windows Media player but it's best to download the entire file before playing it. Hayley Westenra - Amazing GraceOh, the next one is ready for upload... The Moon Represents My Heart duet... it will take a while though. And yes... Hayley did indeed open the show! Cheers, Dave |

Hi Dave and everyone The sound and picture quality of these first two video's is absolutely stunning - a bit like Hayley's performance actually! Never heard of Shin but his duet with Hayley was beautiful and in Taiwanese! Another new language for our special girl to add to her repertoire! WOW!! Love the new hair too. And still lots more to look forward to - don't know if I can stand the excitement.  Best wishes Grant |

Hi everyone, Video no. 3 (= song no. 4, I skipped song no. 3, which was a solo "Volare" by Russell - but I will probably post it at the end).
Hayley Westenra & Russell Watson - The PrayerThere are a few more for later on Friday but I think I will now sign off for the night...  Cheers, Dave  |

Hi Dave, I knew it wouldn't be a bad idea to switch on the computer this morning. Just downloaded the three fantastic songs during breakfast within ten minutes and all play well. A quick and big 'Thank you' from Germany for your work during the night. A stunning quality even on a 20 inch screen, not to mention the content... All the best, Karsten |
