Battle Proms??

[martindn]

Just picked something up on Twitter.

Is Hayley involved in the Battle Proms at Blenheim Palace tonight (14th July) along with Paul Potts?. Saw that mentioned somewhere, but can't find it now. (Tweets in reverse order)

Paul Potts ‏@paulpottsmusic
@colwl @hayleywestenra thank you

23h Paul Potts Paul Potts ‏@paulpottsmusic

@colwl @hayleywestenra tonight's rehearsal is filmed in front of an audience. Quite common in Europe


23h Colin Usher Colin Usher ‏@colwl

@paulpottsmusic Yes & don't we know it! Still, to see you & @hayleywestenra was worth the drenching. Best wishes for your show tomorrow.

Of course Battle Proms don't mention who will be performing at their shows.

The clue is that Colin Usher tweeted that he booked into a hotel 4 miles from Belnheim last night.

Also just found this

@paulpottsmusic Bound to rain tomorrow evening. Going to The Battle Proms at Blenheim Palace. Remember the weather when we saw you at Woburn


Of course Hayley is always worth a drenching. Been there, done it, got the memories (and videos)

So, are we going to see this somehow or another? I don't even know what the Battle Proms is. I could look it up, but I'll let you experts tell me.

Hello Libby!

Here's some information about the Battle Proms concert at Blenheim Palace, but there's no mention of Hayley:

According to Blenheim Palace's website, Denise Leigh should have been singing last night:

That's interesting! Perhaps Hayley was a last minute replacement.

Hello Martin D and everybody!

The plot thickens! It now appears that Paul Potts was singing in Austria last night:

Edit: I've solved the mystery by reading Colin Usher's Twitter in the correct order:

Paul Potts ‏@paulpottsmusic
@colwl I remember it well. It was sunny and warm during rehearsal then threw it down all through the concert

Colin Usher ‏@colwl
@paulpottsmusic Yes & don't we know it! Still, to see you & @hayleywestenra was worth the drenching. Best wishes for your show tomorrow.
