This page has been created to celebrate Hayley's 17th birthday - April 10, 2004. Photos are selected from a video of a talent quest in New Zealand from 1996 - showing Hayley at 8 years of age; an item on New Zealand TV News about Hayley meeting Queen Elizabeth and President Bush at a private function in London; and a report on New Zealand 60 Minutes about the first few months of Hayley's achievements as an international artist.

Sir George still seems to be excited about something....

And to finish: Charlotte Church. The 60 Minutes Special deals with the fact that Hayley is often compared to Charlotte. She confirms she doesn't mind - because she also realises, she is quite a distinct performer.
