Hello Andrew !  What a glorious and detailed review. When I finished reading it, I began to look for my coat...it truly felt like I was there at the concert! Cheers buddy, Joe |

Absolutely superb report, Andrew.
I am glad i waited for your report before putting up the main meal of mine. There would have been an enormous duplication.
What I shall do now, under the Harrogate thread is to put up my hors d'oeuvre while I do a major edit on the main meal, so that I can complement your report by addressing the differences between the two concerts, rather than simply posting the report of my evening.

Fabulous report, Andrew!  I also felt I was there while I was reading it. Are you going to tell us more about meeting Hayley afterwards? i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifMerry Christmas to you and your parents. Richard |

Hi Andrew Truly great report - ten out of ten! But what a memory! How do you mange to remember verbatim everything Hayley said? (or was there a recorder hidden somewhere?). Merry Christmas Martin |

Wonderful report Andrew!
Not only did I feel I was there, I had the goose bumps as well!!
You have a very special way of writing, especially the way you seem to be able to "remember" what Hayley says and the way you use phrases from her songs for effect.
Like Martin, I would like to hear a bit more about meeting up with Hayley afterwards. (Wonder where she is now?)
Best wishes and Happy Christmas
Grant

Hi Andrew
Many thanks for your fantastically accurate report ! I am looking forward to "the surprise" if it can be arranged. It brought back many memories of my own Cardiff performance, infact she said quite alot of the same things. I guess she had a sort of loose script prepared which must have helped her relax a little on stage.
It would be good to hear about meeting Hayley afterwards - did you introduce your parents to her ?
Very best regards
Mark.
PS - I haven't forgotten about the tie !

:)Hi Andrew, Thanks for the great review from the concert. As I read it, I was saying to myself "I wish I had been there."! I am really looking forward to seeing the Wales concert on ITV Wales soon. I was particularly disappointed to miss Hayley singing "Mary Did You Know" as it is one of my favourites. Great pictures as well. Thanks Stuart |

Thanks Stuart Hi Stuart, Thank you for your very encouraging words re: my concert report and photographs... receiving such compliments from one of the Hayter twins is very flattering indeed, since photography is one of your specialities...  Yes- I can't wait to see the Welsh Concert either!  i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifThanks again Stuart, Regards, Andrew  |

Hi Andrew,
What can I say Buddy that has not already been said, that was probably the best report of a concert I have ever read.

Thank you Andrew, God bless you too.
