To clarify, Hayley will have had nothing to do with the price of tickets for this charity event. She is simply attending, and performing, as a current supporter of the Vera Lynn Children's Charity. In fact it wouldn't surprise me if Hayley was appearing for no fee whatsoever other than expenses perhaps. Martin Me neither Martin. Hayley is a vice-president of the charity after all! Martin D |

I'm getting very, very confused now. First off, I have never been clear as to why some of you are acting uncertain as to whether she will be there or not... All the articles I've seen say she is. However, what I'm not clear on is what day the actual event is going to be!  I've seen 3 different dates!  And this one lists 2 different dates!! It does say the 18th twice. Now, what day is it really?? Or is there more than one event? Very confusing! www.thedistrictpost.co.uk/news/2017/01/dame-veras-pride-100th-birthday-party-favourite-charity/ |

Less than half of the tickets have been sold so far but still over 7 weeks to go. The Upper Circle with the cheapest seated tickets are selling well though.

I figured the 16th was an error, since the 18th was mentioned twice. However, the 16th is mentioned first, which is a bit concering. Oh well, I guess anyone wanting to go will figure it out eventually.  I was also confused by the 20th, but going back I see that's just her actual birthday.  |

Here are some tweets confirming Hayley's appearance. I bet Hayley waits till no earlier than the day before to say.  Oh, I'd like to be proved wrong, but there's not a very good record at the moment to have much of an argument. Lucky if she tweets 3 times before then, for that matter.  |

Tickets are still available for this concert, so I've posted Dame Vera's tweet on the HWI Facebook Page and pinned it to the top of the page. Richard  |

The tweet I posted above (with the Hayley pic) was just tweeted again. So, they're being persistent about encouraging people to go. |

Somehow I didn't think she would be adding new vocals! Will this make her the oldest singer ever to release an album I wonder?
Personally, I think perhaps a better idea might have been an album of Vera Lynn songs performed by Hayley!

No, I think it's the record producers who have been listening to Aled, though! I would be surprised if it wasn't put out by Decca! With all the ridiculous success of that album, it isn't much wonder that they'd want to do it with another artist! It's a shame that Hayley won't be on the album at all, but I have to admit, I'm relieved it's not a full album of Hayley singing it. We've had enough gimmicky albums, it's time for the real deal from Hayley. I won't be satisfied till that happens, and I know that's what Hayley has planned, just don't know how soon it will actually be.  Her friend who attended her recent UK concert seemed to know that it would be this year, so I'm holding out hope that it will be, but since there's been no hint or info at all, I still can't help but remain somewhat pessimistic and skeptical about it all. |
