Hi Jillian and everyone,

Thanks for that, it's good to have so many chances to listen to part or all of Hayley concerts these days!

Colin (who lives not far from my part of the Country and who braved the snows to get to London the other day) has also recorded the concert and will be making some of the best tracks available over the next week or two, as some of you already know (but we are now trying to get the quality up a bit).

There were the usual difficulties of unpredictable sound balance, found in all concert recordings from the audience, but apart from that, some of Colin's tracks are of excellent technical quality and after a bit of tweaking, we have agreed that I can make some of them available here. The first one is that which many of you will most wish to hear:

O Holy Night mp3 192kbps recorded by Colin.

and another version with 2:1 dynamic compression (makes it sound a bit louder) which some of you may prefer:

O Holy Night (louder version) mp3 192kbps

Nice job Colin and of course, even nicer singing, Hayley!

The louder version was better. And it worked for me! Thank you, Colin and Dave!
