Hayley Westenra on tour in Northern Ireland

UK outfit Fact Not Fiction Films has finished filming its new documentary film about the singer Hayley Westenra on tour in Northern Ireland.

Made in conjunction with Tourism Northern Ireland the film follows the multi-platinum New Zealand Soprano singer Hayley Westenra on tour in Northern Ireland in Spring 2008. The film provides a unique insight into the life of an International star on her tour of Northern Ireland. With rare, never seen before back stage access, the film shows the professionalism and hard work required to provide audiences with the amazing experience of watching Hayley Westenra perform live on stage. The film also explores the beauty of Northern Ireland by following Hayley whilst off stage on her visits to legendary tourist spots in the province.

Hayley Westenra will also star in the UK/Australian Fact Not Fiction Films feature film ‘Shadows from the Sky’ due to start principle photography in 2009. Hayley Westenra will be singing at a memorial service as part of the powerful opening sequences of the feature ‘Shadows from the Sky’ which is an adaptation of the book ‘Toxic Airlines’ by Tristan Loraine the director of Fact Not Fiction Films. Her performance of the song ‘Ave Maria’ is included in the films teaser trailer released in October 2008 at www.shadowsfromthesky.com.

Hi Richard,

Thank you!
So, it has to be a quote to appear the box with a stroke, silly me, I didn't realize that!

Why is Kate called Miss, but Hayley Ms? I have far more doubts about Kates marital status than Hayley's!

Thanks for the link Graham

I had heard rumours of a Northern Ireland behind the scenes DVD but wasnt sure when or if it would ever be released (i'd read somewhere it might not be ). It seems now like it is a distinct possibility!! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Iam surprised it hasnt been advertised on her official website... well mentioned in the news section i mean. Oh well i shall buy it as soon as it comes out, whenever that is! lol

Thanks again!

Hi all,

In our short chat with Steve just before the Classical Brits he told us that they've finished and now the copies are made. (Please correct me, if I'm wrong, Grant or Richard.)

Cheers, Karsten
