In Tune with Nature: Waipara Photos and Vidoes!

Thanks again to Ross and Belinda, who are on this magnificent tour. They send us more photos and reports from the second concert of the Hayley Westenra and Dave Dobbyn In Tune with Nature tour. Here is Ross's report:

"Dave started again and he mostly did the same songs as last night although he did do some different ones as well. Hayley joined him for the last 2 songs which were the same ones last night. While they were singing a World War 2 Mustang fighter came over the concert and waggled it's wings at us which was cool. The rest of the concert (Fiona and Hayley) was a repeat of last night. I better correct one song I mentioned last night. Hayley sung Mummers Dance and not Lovers Heart (silly me for getting this one wrong). While Hayley was playing Sonny the crowd was so silent you could hear a pin drop. In fact throughout the concert everyone was quiet during the songs. Later when we talked to an English guy he thought us Kiwis were too reserved and we should have been dancing so you cannot please everyone. They got a standing ovation at the end and when they did the Welcome Home encore everyone got on their feet and moved closer to the stage and sang along with them which was great. The concert had sold out on the day so there was a big crowd there (about 3000) and a lot of people stayed for the signings. Well only one more concert to go. I will keep uploading photos as I find time and I also managed to video Hayleys part of the concert so I can always treasure the Let Me Lie and Sonny songs. There were also a lot of cameras at the concert so maybe there could be a DVD of the concert coming ( I hope so)."

Here are the photos:
