Hayley Westenra chats to I Like Music

ILM: OK, so of all the top venues you've played at: Carnegie Hall, the Sydney Opera House, Wembley Arena and the Royal Albert Hall - which one stands out in your mind as the absolute best for you?

HAYLEY: Performing at the Royal Albert Hall was a huge buzz. I've performed there a number of times now. But I remember first arriving in London and driving past the place and saying, 'wow, wouldn't it be amazing to play there,' and a week later I was, at the Classical Brits. About a year and a half ago I was performing at churches and cathedrals tour and goodness, the places I performed in, they were just stunning. Some of these cathedrals are so beautifully designed as well as having the most amazing atmosphere, the vibe throughout the whole concerts were so special, and those are the concerts that have really stuck in my mind and had the most impact, they don't have to be the big venues. Particularly Shrewsbury Abbey, it was beautiful. I had my mum with me and she was taking pictures of the place, and the acoustics there of course are gorgeous as well, so that always helps.
