Hi Andrew
I am sure you will enjoy the show. It will be interesting to see what the differences will be between the different venues. I also look forward to your report. Have a good time and if you get the chance, perhaps you could thank Hayley for me for thinking of us waiting for her at the stage door in Cardiff. She very kindly got a message to us to let us know that she wasn't able to come down to see us. It was a very cold night and we were very grateful for her thoughtfulness.
Take care
Regards
Mark.

Hi Mark and Andrew! I'll second that totally! Hayley was very thoughtful to let us know that she's got no time for us.  Who else cares for their fans so much? Please tell her a thank you also from me if you see her on Thursday, Andrew!  Enjoy the show! Thomas |

Hi All, Thank you for all of your messages!  I'm feeling really excited about Hayley's concert performance at 'The Sage' tonight... Yes of course I'll be sure to arrive there on "thyme" i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif complete with the willow picnic basket and Roger's folding chair!  'The Sage' is only a 2 hour drive away from me, so nothing too much to worry about... Steve "H", please could I borrow your Jaguar XK8 to get me there a bit quicker please?  Incidentally, I have some good news re: the 'Westenra of Christchurch NZ' tartan silk ties... I received the bulk order from the producers yesterday. I'm really sorry that the order was a little later in arriving than expected, so please accept my sincere apologies Thomas, Mark and the rest of you who wanted to show off the "Westenra colours" at the 'Christmas Presence' concerts... I'm sure you'll make up for lost time once you've received them though (I'll mail them off to you tomorrow morning). Richard, the colours look quite brilliant, so you would be well advised to have your sunglasses handy... I really look forward to reporting back later about this evening's concert... Speak Later, Regards, Andrew |

Hi All, Hayley's performance at the 'Christmas Presence' concert in Gateshead was outstanding last night!  A Concert Review is due to follow shortly, but here's a picture of Hayley which I took after the concert at approx. 10.30pm, when Hayley was just leaving to go to a banquet! Hayley was radiant and cheerful (as always!)... wishing everybody a "Merry Christmas!" A great many people were truly "Westenwowed" last night! I'm still on an all time high... Regards, Andrew |
