I'd have to say yes Comet. Saturday will be my third visit to the NCH to see Hayley and I believe she has played there at least once before. I have seen her perform twice at St James Church London, St George's Church Telford, Gawsworth Hall, Fairfield Hall and Venue Cymru, so I suspect most other places would be a maximum of two. Saturday will also be my fourth consecutive concert in Ireland. Union Chapel seems a long time ago and Gwyl Gobaith (Aug. 2012) a lifetime ago! Cheers Grant I have seen Hayley perform at least five times at the Royal Albert Hall, and I know she has also sung there in my absence. But those were all guest appearances; not Hayley concerts as such, so maybe they don't count  Mmmm! Wondered about the RAH. Comet used the word "performed" which doesn't necessarily imply concert, so it appears to be between the NCH and the RAH. Will have to see if Hayley has the answer. Cheers Grant |

Question : Is the National Concert Hall in Dublin the venue that Hayley has performed most often in ? I'd have to say yes Comet. Saturday will be my third visit to the NCH to see Hayley and I believe she has played there at least once before. I have seen her perform twice at St James Church London, St George's Church Telford, Gawsworth Hall, Fairfield Hall and Venue Cymru, so I suspect most other places would be a maximum of two. Saturday will also be my fourth consecutive concert in Ireland. Union Chapel seems a long time ago and Gwyl Gobaith (Aug. 2012) a lifetime ago! Cheers Grant My fourth consecutive one in Ireland too, but you are cheating a bit since two of them were on successive nights and were done on the same trip. I have seen her four times at the Derngate Northampton. That's the most times I have seen her at any one place. 20th March 2004 18th November 2004 5th November 2008 4th March 2012 Looks like about every 4 years, so we must be due another one (Hint!). The only other place I have seen Hayley more than once is the Buxton Opera House. Martin D |

There has definitely been a surge in late sales over the last week. I would estimate overall sales to be at nearly 70% now which is great news for Hayley and the event.  I am now looking forward to seeing other HWI'ers on Saturday and yes, Dave, I do realise I will be missing England's football match on Saturday. However, if they play like they did in their last friendly game against Portugal a few days ago I will be miss nothing!  I was there and the highlight of the match was the Mexican wave.  Martin Yes and Portugal's best player (Ronaldo) wasn't even on the pitch ! (But he does cost £274000 a week !!) But the reason for my non-attendance in Dublin isn't football. It's because for what it would cost in flights and hotels I could see 6 shows in the UK !  But I'm sure you'll keep me fully informed of events !  |

I didn't think you needed one for a fellow EU country ! Maybe I could pose as a migrant !  Hey, Comet what are my chances of paddling up the Liffey in an inflatable boat ?!  |

Just remember that orchestras tend to play their own songs in between Hayley's sets, so I don't look at these new songs as a guarantee that Hayley is singing every one of them. We thought she was singing Sleigh Ride in Madison, but the orchestra played it themselves instead. But, I really would love to hear Hayley sing A Time for Us! I actually requested it a long time ago, by sending her an e-mail via her old management! That was probably soon after the duet with JA at the CBA, because I really enjoyed it... her half of it, anyway.  I don't know if this is any coincidence, but at the time, I also requested Bridge Over Troubled Water. Hmmm... |
