Didn't we see that dress last year on the David Foster tour?

Awesome set list!!! HUGE thanks to you, Ross, for filling us in on all the evening's festivities. It's been ages since she did "I Know You By Heart". Glad it's been resurrected. Wish we had videos, but at least we have pictures (which you might want to resize a bit).

I am excited to know that she sang I Know You By Heart, too! I'm hoping that means she's going to (or has) put it on her new album. Remember that "petition" we started on Twitter a few years ago? I'm hoping she remembers, too!

It's nice to see a photo with Arnaud, too.

Hi Ross
Many thanks for the report and photos and it is great to see Hayley looking so well.

It strikes me that Tim Evans has the best job in the world - accompanying Hayley in her performances. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Taylor, I added a caption to the first photograph on this page so everybody can see who's who. I've also posted a link to this thread on our Facebook page.

Thanks for the report and pictures Ross. Sounds like a great evening - hope you didn't get indegestion after all that marvellous food.

Great set list from Hayley too "I Know You By Heart" is one of my favourite Hayley songs and I concur with everyone who thinks it should be on her next album i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Best wishes

Thanks for the report Ross. I hadn't realised what a small location it is. lovely intimate location for a concert with Hayley. I think it must have been a very special evening.

And yes, I'm sure we've seen that dress before.....

Thanks ROSS!

Martin, I first remember seeing that dress when she was in Athens last year.

Many thanks Ross for your reports and photos, and for driving all that way to the Dinner!

I've added a direct link back to your forum report, at the end of the HWI website report from the Marlborough Express.

Cheers, Dave

Thanks for the report Ross.
What a wonderfully intimate performance.

I see a tripod on the right hand side of your photos, Do you by any chance have access to it's content ?

Thank you for the report Ross! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

I had to look up "I Know You By Heart" on UTube, and it is a BEAUTIFUL song. So much meaning and emotion! Afterwards, I had to pull out "Eva By Heart" that I bought last year at a yard sale, and put it on. Funny thing is, I had not listened to the album yet! lol Thank you Hayley for motivating me to finally give Eva a try and falling in love with another gifted artist like yourself!

BTW, I concur with everyone's sentiments that "I Know You By Heart" and "I Dreamed a Dream" would be wonderful additions in Hayley's next album.

There was a photographer and video camera at the concert so I am hoping they will show it some time soon.

Hello folks!

There are some incredible fashion photographs from this event at thread.co.nz:

This unique wine is the culmination of over 35 years of experience in viticulture and winemaking with Brancott Estate first pioneering the planting of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc back in 1975.

It's available onsite at Brancott Estate Heritage Centre and nationwide at fine wine retailers from mid April for $80.00.
