Well done Dori.
Your photos are superb. Now the ball is rolling, take your time folks and let us savour. Glad it is only a cold and you are already feeling better, just make sure you didn't give it to Hayley though hopefully she should be in superb rude health right now.

Absolutely superb report Jillian. Thank you do much for sharing. This is indeed Hayley at her best and as she usually is in the UK most of the time. She gives tome to everyone and really enjoys sharing everyone's excitement and fun at meeting her.
So glad you met with Sophie and Jill. The photo of Dori with Sophie shows how much those sisters are close to lookalikes.
Thank you Dori. Sorry Kiwis if we Brits seemed to lose faith in you. We should (I should) have known better!

Thank you Jillian. I love your report. So much reminds me of my first Hayley concert. From the effect of Hayley starting singing out of sight (she made the hair on the back of my neck stand up) to meeting her after (she was an absolute delight). I also love your photo on facebook.

Well done, Ross. Thank you for your first preliminary report. Richard will answer if she's had three recalls before (I think so) and I am delighted she got a standing ovation. That does indeed happen but not as regularly as I would like her to receive. We regulars in the UK hesitate at audience leading and usually respond to others but you seem to have got your contribution right. Well done. Difficult judgement but the audience were there for her.
By the way I forgot to mention (Dori or Ross) I am delighted they emphasised no 'flash' as opposed to no photography. That is a major development. Watch videographers. There may be concern there because of copyright on the sound. It is usually the composer who holds the rights.
By the by. Although I've seen descriptions claiming 6,000 audience to be 3/4 full and to have only the very high ones unsold is no bad achievement. That can happen in the UK with smaller sizes and makes a very acceptable 'full house'. claim.

I like the new blue dress! Her eyeshadow looked really good with it, too!  I can't wait to find out what other songs she sang... hint, hint... :wink: |

Thanks for the reports and photos Jillian and Dori. Sound like I missed an amazing night.
Best I could do to compensate was drive through englands most beautiful valley, Borrowdale, in the autumn sunshine while playing Paradiso. That was an amazing spiritual experience too.
What other singer in the world can uplift and inspire her fans the way Hayley does. She is a very special singer indeed.
