On

The tour of New Zealand was highly successful. As usual,
Hayley was on top form, and both Sophie and Isaac appeared
too, Sophie performing "Tears In Heaven" and
Isaac duetting with her on "Greensleeves". The
show was opened by Hinewehi Mohi, some evenings she was
accompanied by Maori dancers.
The other guest artist was Maori Tenor Brandon Poe, who
sang 4 solos and duetted with Hayley on two songs. One
of the highlights of the last few weeks was the presentation
by Helen Clarke, the NZ Prime Minister, to Hayley of a
10 times Platinum award for the best selling Kiwi album
of all time for "Pure". Despite a gruelling
schedule, Hayley managed to sign and chat to everybody
who stayed behind after the concerts.
There has been a day off and then she is filming a video
promo clip for pokarekare Ana (the director is a Canadian
called Lisa Mann). Two stunning NZ locations, Cathedral
Cove and kari Kari (famous for the opening beach scene
in the film "The Piano"). The record company
wanted to record the video in Cuba, but it really had
to be New Zealand, and we had a lot of help from local
people in making it happen.
We get to Christchurch on Saturday only to leave on Sunday
for Melbourne for the first Australian show on Wednesday.
We are very excited to get back to the UK on March 17th.
Only bad news we have had was that Decca couldn't secure
the legal rights to put "Wuthering Heights"
video onto the single.
