Good find, Jillian!  I missed this back in December. Hayley is a good supporter of Classic FM's charities, so I've moved your post to this new thread on the Charity board.  Richard  |

I'll quote the important part of Classic FM's article: [/b] On Friday 24th February 2012 Classic FM favourite Hayley Westenra will be giving a very special performance to just 40 Classic FM listeners at the SEA LIFE London Aquarium. In a magical after-hours performance when all visitors have left the SEA LIFE London Aquarium, you will enjoy Hayley's beautiful voice in the ethereal blue light in front of the aquarium’s magnificent shark tank. The performance will take place on a Friday evening early 2012. At the age of just 16, Hayley released her debut international album, Pure, which received critical acclaim and rapidly became the fastest-selling debut album from a classical artist. Hayley has achieved incredible success outside of her native New Zealand – Pure reached the Top 10 of the pop charts in 11 countries, and her proceeding albums have sold over four million copies worldwide to date. Hayley has performed for royalty and Heads of State including Her Majesty The Queen and Prince Charles and President Bush. Now you have the chance to enjoy an exclusive performance by this talented young star at Classic FM. This prize is a fantastic opportunity to enjoy her breathtaking talent in a unique venue. The SEA LIFE London Aquarium has one of Europe’s largest collections of global marine life and for one evening only, its creatures of the deep will share their home with Hayley Westenra and a very lucky audience. This prize has been kindly donated by Hayley Westenra and SEA LIFE London Aquarium.  You can snap up a pair of tickets by listening to Classic FM on Thursday 22nd December at 11.15am.[/size][/quote] I couldn't have been listening to Classic FM on 22nd December.  Richard |

Perhaps Hayley and the shark will sing a duet together. A good number might be... Smile!  Richard  |

As it was a Christmas appeal I think "Shark the Herald Angels Sing" would be more appropriate!! Martin |

I'm sure everyone will have a whale of a time.

Aha! Here she is in front of the sharks! She just posted this on Twitter and Facebook!  I almost forgot about this, but I was thinking there was something significant about the 24th, but I couldn't think what it was. Now I remember. |

That's a cool photo! I saw that someone posted on twitter that they were going to this, so hopefully we hear some more details! Cheers, Jillian |

And hopefully Classic FM will post photos, like they did for the London Eye gig last year.

Performing in front of sharks, Hayley thought she was on X-Factor!  Richard |

Hi! Theresa from Twitter was kind enough to let me share this photo she took:  She said that there were 30 people there and that her favourite song was Pokarekare Ana. Cheers, Jillian |
