Hayley posted it from London, in a studio no less!! And she's going to sing some new songs! Hopefully that means the "Not Alone" song is a new one. I hope it's a new original song instead of a cover.

Saw this tweet today by Irish composer/producer Ewan Cowley; is he playing with Hayley, or as an opening act? I don't expect the translated Taiwan articles will be any clearer than mud, so I guess maybe we'll just find out. To me it sounds like he means with them, and if he does, that could be very interesting.

David Downes and Lisa Lambe both liked this tweet. Lisa apparently has duetted with him on his album/EP.

Also, apparently he's played various instruments for Celtic Woman, since Believe. He's produced and composed for other artists I don't know.

Here's his website: ewancowley.com/

Ah yes, I love the way they take care of Hayley and treat her with great respect, wonderful.

Interesting that two of the concerts are on Sundays, the 12th and the 19th of November and the other on the Wednesday 15th November..

I am pleased to see there is still communication between Hayley and Linfair Records, if it means we have to Import Hayley's next album ourselves then so be it, that will suit me fine.

Tower Records in Dublin are quite good at getting Imports on their shelves, but don't expect to get that kind of service without paying a premium.

I believe Linfair Records is owned by Universal. So perhaps Hayley still has a record contract after all!
