As it seems it may not finish until 11pm and then I'll want to see Hayley if possible, I'm likely to miss the last train home. I think therefore I may drive down early afternoon, park up before the traffic gets too bad so that I'm in time to see the potential award winners arrive. I think we said 4.30 to 5pm didn't we ?

Wow - I'm excited now and its still 2 months to go

See you all there
Mark

I'm going to drive in as well. They used to have parking available just over the road from about 5pm.. so will head for that

Hi there!

I've voted now and also made a new thread on the Celtic Woman Forums asking people there to vote for Hayley. Hopefully more votes should be coming in. There even if they aren't a fan of Hayley herself they will support anyone who is or was a member of CW.

Hi Folks,

there do NOT seem to be restrictions on the country you vote from.

I have just voted from Ireland with no problem

Just check in the drop down list for your country and vote for Treasure.

after you have voted it seems to let you go back repeatedly to the "CAST VOTE " section

Hi everyone

I voted early this morning - just as the voting site went live. Thankfully, I won't be getting the Kiri CD either i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Hey there!

Just a quick update on the rallying the troops. I've now posted on her official Facebook page. Jon S has posted on the official forum (copied and pasted what I wrote at CWF), and I'm off to find more places to ask people to vote.

Hello Caitlin and everyone!

TeHe Caitlin! You gave me an idea and I've just posted a link on Connie Talbot's forum. Hopefully that will win Hayley a few more votes!

Best wishes
Grant

[Gene]

I just voted. I cannot make the show, but at least Hayley has one additional vote to add to her growing list.

First of all, thanks Caitlin for spreading the word on the CW forum and to Grant for doing likewise on Connie's. If anyone is a member of any other singers' forums (provided they are not nominated of course), please follow their example.

Thank you to Raymond and Comet for confirming that voting is possible from Hong Kong and Ireland respectively.

At the risk of making a fool of myself (like I normally do!), I will email the Westenras just in case they are unaware that international voting is possible.

Exciting innit?

Way to go Hayley!

Roger

Myleene Klass To Host Classical BRITs 2008



6th March, 2008

MYLEENE KLASS TO HOST THE CLASSICAL BRIT AWARDS 2008 WITH NS&I

Musician, broadcaster and TV presenter, the multi-talented Myleene Klass is today confirmed to host The Classical BRIT Awards 2008 with NS&I, in the same week that her album ‘ Music For Mothers’ tops the Classical Compilation chart.

The BPI, representing UK record companies, is also delighted to announce the appointment of two new co-chairmen to the Classical BRIT Awards Committee, UCJ Managing Director, Dickon Stainer and Head of EMI Classics UK, Thomas Kaurich. 2008 also celebrates the fifth consecutive year that the Awards have been sponsored by NS&I.

Myleene will host the prestigious awards when they return to the Royal Albert Hall for the ninth consecutive year on Thursday 8 May 2008. The highlight of the UK’s classical calendar, The Classical BRIT Awards with NS&I, sees the world’s greatest operatic voices, musicians and classical performers take to the stage alongside the brightest new talents for an evening of celebration and captivating world-exclusive performances.

“The Classical BRITS is the biggest event in the classical calendar’ commented Myleene. “To be the host is a personal highlight in my career. I’m really looking forward to presenting a ceremony that is so close to my heart and I’m sure it will be a magical evening.”

“We are delighted to have Myleene hosting the show this year,” commented co-chairman Dickon Stainer and Thomas Kaurich. “Her fresh, dynamic, and positive style has been instrumental in bringing classical music to a wider audience in the UK. Together with an unprecedented all-star line up, this year’s Classical Brits promises to be one of the biggest and best shows ever.”

Having studied voice at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and winning a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music, Myleene Klass has gone on to forge a hugely successful musical career. Her album ‘Myleene’s Music For Mothers’ released on 18 February shot to the top of the Classical Compilation charts over the weekend and follows on from the success of her number 1 best selling ‘Myleene’s Music for Romance’ album released last year. Away from music Myleene has had remarkable success from presenting the Classic FM Breakfast Show every Saturday and Sunday to becoming the face of the Marks & Spencer’s advertising campaign.

The nominations for The Classical BRIT Awards 2008 with NS&I will be unveiled on Tuesday 8 April in London. The categories are:

• NS&I’s Album of the Year
• Young British Classical Performer or Group
• Male Artist of the Year
• Female Artist of the Year
• Critics’ Award
• Original Soundtrack Of The Year
• Outstanding Contribution

Tim Mack, Head of Marketing and Communications for NS&I said:
“NS&I is delighted to announce its sponsorship of the prestigious Classical BRIT Awards 2008, the fifth consecutive year that the Awards have been sponsored by NS&I. The sponsorship of the Classical BRIT Awards builds on our relationship with Classic FM listeners and also widens our appeal in an exciting way.”

Tickets for The Classical BRIT Awards 2008 with NS&I are now available from the Royal Albert Hall Box Office on 020 7589 8212.
