Hi everybody! Hayely first sang that song at her Dublin concert in June. She also sang Who Will Echo My Heart, which she first performed in Taiwan last December. The man playing the guitar is Tom DeLuca, who helped her write the song. At her Dublin concert, he and 2 other songwriters were there, including Sarah Class, who wrote and arranged some of the songs on Pure, as well as co-wrote Let Me Lie. Ronan Hardiman is an Irishman who wrote the song Heaven from Pure. She's visited Ireland twice this year, separate from her concert.
Hayley's been in California since Sept. 18th. She posted a pic from Malibu, and then a week or so later, from LA. Another photo of her with a parrot in someone's patio area led me to the discovery that she's apparently working with Diane Warren (who has worked with David Foster, and DF lives in Malibu), as well as songwriting for many, many well-known singers! That's because Hayley recently started following Diane on twitter, and I saw the parrot on her page.
Hayley has visited the LA area 5 times within the last 2 years. Another time she was working with Stephan Moccio (wrote What You Never Know, and songs by Josh Groban, Mario Frangoulis, and even some pop stars), and also Pam Sheyne, who wrote Never Say Goodbye from Pure.
Anyway, guys, if you really want to stay up to date on Hayley, besides her social media pages, check out the Hayley Westenra International forum. I mean, if you really want news, that's where to go. You don't have to join or log in, just read.
Hayley herself has mostly been quiet on twitter the past year or so, with not much to go on, but this new video shows that's all about to change. So be sure to subscribe to her new channel!
