The Dame Vera Lynn Trust will be celebrating its 10th Anniversary by holding a Celebration Ball at the prestigious Lancaster London Hotel.

Thanks for the information, Karsten!

The Ball is a bit too expensive for me, but I've posted the details on our website with Hayley's appearance subject to confirmation.

Here's a better link for further information:

Sounds like fun! I can only imagine "dancing the night away" with Hayley singing live!

[martindn]

Yes, I can remember a show like that with a band I was a fan of many years ago. Dancing, forget it. You just get as close to the front as possible and listen. That's waht I woud do at a Hayley "dance" too.

Does this mean that her new management is working with HWI already? If so, that is good news.

Which is I believe exactly the same programme that was used at Birmingham. It certainly had that advert.
