News of at least one concert in Taiwan in December surfaced on the MNA Facebook page in September: However, no further information has yet been found. I thought I found something showing Taipei's National concert hall's calendar, but since it was in Chinese, I couldn't actually tell. And of course, no confirmation has been given (though I'm not sure that's even possible at this time). The lack of info these days, on even this concert(s), has become very alarming, if you ask me. |

This tweet from Frank Lin should help: It's the same link that Jim posted.  Richard  |

LOL too bad I didn't wait one more day before I posted this. But the thought suddenly came to me and I got worried, so I posted it. No, Jim, that's definitely not what I was referring to; the image of Hayley alone would have set my mind at ease! it was something I saw via the MNA FB page, with a calendar, I'm telling you. What little I could interpret, they were guessing when the concert would be by the vacant spots on the calendar. When put through Google translate, reading the song titles is like figuring out riddles, but they're fairly easy riddles.  But look at what it says near the end! |

I like surprises... but I'll take the new creation! What's that phrase, "enquiring minds want to know"! I hope more forthcoming news is on the horizon! |

Hi, Looking at the address given above, I didn't recognize the name Steve Harvie. Checking the name out, I found this site - www.times.co.nz/news/drummer-living-the-dream.htmlLots of good info on the forum regarding Hayley's previous sold-out performance in that concert hall, and afterwards, outside on the porch, for the huge crowd, unable to get tickets, who had been watching a big screen broadcast.

Hi,
From Joe's posting - "more details in the translation...", next to the bottom line, "It will bring her new creation and other surprises,"
What's the thinking, should we get excited, or just believe that something has been lost (found) in the translation?!

BobS Well, it depends what is meant by "new". But yes, it sounds exciting. Is she about to reveal some of the new music that we know she has been working on. As I said on Facebook when I first heard about this, I hope someone has a video recorder. Martin D |

Hi,
Hayley has been very well-received in Taiwan. Let's hope that she will favor the Taiwanese with something extra-special in December that will allow us to have some idea of what she has been up to musically during this long period of no news.

Well, just remember, anything she says will be translated into Chinese, and then re-translated into more riddles for us! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif Unless they do a video interview, and don't talk over her. LOL |

Hi, As a bit of historical trivia for this date, ever so remotely associated with Hayley's upcoming performance in the National Concert Hall at the Chiang Kai-shek complex in Taipei, ---the general's wife, a prominent world personage in her own right, having moved to the US upon the general's death in Taiwan in 1975, passed away in New York City October 23, 2003, at the age of 106.
