Have lots of fun everyone! Be sure to watch both All Angels and Hayley and, if possible, take photos of them too!

Enjoy the concert!

Let's see if this works.. Long lens, low light, half-way down the field with a picnic in hand..

All-in-all, a fantastic evening, and the first time my girlfriend has seen either the girls or Hayley live











These are the best two:

Hi Chris,

Sorry we did not get to find each other yesterday, photo's look good considering where you were!

Here are the start of some more, that I will be posting over the next week. These three were taken at the beginning of the first half, when the light was still good.

Thank you Steve for the lovely photos of All Angels and thank you Chris for the same but also of Hayley.

So the girls can switch their coloured dresses! I didn't know that!

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for your excellent photo's Steve and Chris. It was a very enjoyable evening and it was so good seeing the girls performing again as it was my first concert since Coventry.

Unfortunatly I didn't get the set list as I forgot to take a notepad and pen with me, but they sung the usual songs from both albums, about 4/5 songs in each half. I was delighted to finally hear them perform Sancte Deus live and for me that was the highlight of a wonderful performance.

There were opportunities to meet the girls at half time and after the concert and as I waited back to allow other people to see them first, I didn't get a photo or autographs this time around, but I did manage to speak with them for a minute - and apologise for missing the last few concerts! ;D

I've not long arrived home but I have plenty of pictures to sort through which I will be posting later.

Thanks for the first photographs Chris and Steve.

The London Gala Orchestra, conducted by Stephen Bell, played six or seven orchestral works. These included excepts from 'Carmen', themes from 'The Big Country' and 'Out of Africa' and the finale from Tchaikovsky's '1812 Overture'.

Hayley sang six songs in each half, details of which appear on the HWI forum. I will post on the I Forum shortly . All Angels' songlist was as follows:

First half
Flower Duet
Songbird
Sancte Deus
Barcarolle
Make Me A Channel of Your Peace
Singing You Through

Second half
Sull Aria
Nothing Compares To You
Pie Jesu
Windmills of Your Mind
In Paradisum
The Sound of Silence

We then had the first ever performance by All Angels and Hayley who led the audience in a rousing, flag-waving rendition of 'Land of Hope and Glory'.

Hi Roger,

Thanks for the set list.

That rendition of Land Of Hope and Glory at the and was superb and made me feel really proud to be British, it must be a real sight to be looking out from the stage and seeing so many people waving Union Flags and St George's Cross flags.

Here are some of the pictures that I took...

During the second half I couldn't use my camera as much as it was getting darker, but I did manage to get one good picture of the girls wearing these beautifully coloured dresses.

Thanks for the great pictures Dazza. Due to the failing light, I didn't try to get any after the first ten minutes but here are two taken right at the beginning of All Angels' first set:





You're right Dazza, 'Land of Hope and Glory' was a magnificent climax to this fabulous concert. It would have been interesting to see the audience from the stage as they were all waving their Union flags and the Cross of St George but I wonder how Hayley felt about that!

Hayley, I hereby declare you to be an Honorary Brit!

Thanks for all the great picture, they are really good. I was planning to go to this concert but I realised that it was when I would be on holiday, which I am on now, Portugal. Its really hot. I am disappointed that I missed it, especially since I haven´t seen the girls perform in a while. Again great pictures and great reports, sounds like it was an amazing event. The dresses are beautiful, I love how they have mixed it up a bit with the different coloured floral dresses.

Hi!

Thank you Dazza, Chris, Steve and Roger for reports and pictures.
What a wonderful concert it must have been. That makes me even more looking forward to Romsey.
I hope the All Angels and Hayley might perform there together as well?

Thanks for the superb reports and photographs, everybody!

I really like those floral dresses, which the girls also wore at Llangollen.



Best Wishes,

Thanks all for the magnificent photos and reports of the Girls

As always, Charlotte, Laura, Daisy and Melanie looked stunning!

[dazza]

Hi Everyone,

Here are a few pictures sent to me by my friend Gary, who also attended the concert, of the girls during the interval and after the concert.
