Hi Stephany and everyone,

OK

Friday Night is Music Night - West Side Story complete

64 kbps, variable bitrate, 40 minutes long 18.4MB can be downloaded... shhhh!) i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

To listen just to Hayley's part, visit the HWI website here

I thought the Balcony Scene Tonight duet was very good but my personal Haylight of the evening is this: I Feel Pretty. I don't think I have ever heard a better version of it, anywhere... ever. The orchestra and backing singers were brilliant too!

Hello Dave,
I have tried to download "Friday Night Is Music Night-West Side Story complete" at the link you posted but am not getting anything-no download box-just a blank screen.
Have you any ideas why I cant download it?
Best Wishes
Ron

Hi Ron,

Sorry you are having problems downloading that, I've just checked and it seems OK for me. The two methods are 1) to right-click on the link then select "Save As" or "Save Link As" or whatever your browser calls it; or 2) Click on the link and it should open Windows Media player (or whatever your default player is) and after a short while, start to play it. When it has fully downloaded (takes a while) you can choose "File" ... "Save As" in Windows Media Player.

That's all I can offer really... apart from trying again at a different time of day. has anyone else had problems with this?

I am assuming that you have broadband - it will probably be difficult to get it on dial-up.

Cheers, Dave

Hello Dave,

Thanks very much for your complete WSS program from FNiMN.
Yes, it is better if you right-click and save the file. A snip at just under 5 minutes download time! Also save the program details. I had some of the photos from the concert up during some of the audio! Great fun...and very enjoyable as well.

And just prior, I enjoyed watching Hayley on the Celtic Woman special rebroadcast on PBS! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Hi Dave,

many thanks for the clips in the non-streaming version.

I just finished the downloads without any problem.

Best wishes,

Anyone else hear Kiri te Kanawa's version of WSS on Classic FM last night about 10pm ? I know which one I prefer !!

I also think Paul Gambaccini's professionalism, the fact he sat in the audience during the show and the fact that he didn't fluff any of his lines also merits a mention.

Paul Gambaccini is to return to Classic FM to present a landmark series about his classical music heroes.
Gambaccini, who was one of the station's original line-up when it launched in 1992 and currently hosts America's Greatest Hits on BBC Radio 2, will front a 12-part series, Paul Gambaccini's Hall of Heroes.

The Sunday afternoon series will begin on November 4 and will feature the likes of Luciano Pavarotti, Bryn Terfel, Anne-Sofie von Otter and the Kronos Quartet.

No mention of Hayley so technically off topic but I thought some of us might be interested in this news. He's one of my favourite Radio presenters and has been for decades.

Cheers, Dave
