In Tune with Nature: Arrowtown Photos!

Thanks to Ross and Belinda from HWI, they bring us the reports and photos from the first concert of the Dave Dobbyn and Hayley Westenra In Tune with Nature tour. Here is what Ross said:


"Dave did the first set with his well known songs like When I Needed You Most, Otherwise Fine, Loyal, Lay Down. Then Hayley came onto the stage to join Dave and they sung Beside You and Shouldn't You Ought To Be In Love and Welcome Home. Hayley wore a long black dress with floral designs on it. After the interval Fiona Pears and her band did a few songs. She wore a purple knee length dress with black shin length boots. She did Firefly, Martin and Mary which she congratulated those who clapped in the song (including me), Tangoissimo, and Sabre Dance. Then the big moment arrived when Hayley came onto the stage in a purple top over a black top with black leggings.THEN HAYLEY BLEW ME AWAY when she started singing Let Me Lie which I never thought I would hear live and is my favourite song.Then she did Shenandoah, Summerfly. She mentioned that she had been up the gondola and went on the luge. She then sung May It Be, Both Sides Now. Then you know when there is a keyboard around Hayley is bound to sing Sonny which she did and we loved it.Then it was Who Painted The Moon Black, Scarborough Fair which Dave joined in. Then Hayley sang Lovers Heart (Marvin Gaye) and the Hansel and Gretel song Prayer. After that it was Santa Lucia and Intrutina and then Dave joined in with Hine e Hine for the last song.
For the encore they did Down To the River (off the DVD) which everyone clapped to and the last song was Welcome Home with everyone on their feet clapping away. So it was a great concert which you could tell the most people were there to see Hayley and everyone listened to the songs with no one talking during the songs."

Furthermore, Ross and Belinda postes these wonderful photos from the concert:
