Is hayley westenra touring with Celtic Woman on the 2008 tour at all, and at whi

Question:It's confusing because I see nothing mentioned that she is still part of CW, yet on her website there is a link for US Tour dates:Hayely Westenra" and the link brings you to the CW site, but I can't find anything to support or deny this. Any clarification will be helpful, b/c my g/f is dying to see them but she loves Hayely and would love to go, but only if she is there. Thanks in advance for your help.

she was an official member, as far as i knew but couldn't always tour cuz of her solo schedule. i've been confused about that myself and as i'm going to their concert on the 20th i was curious. there's been some lineup changes in the past few months so it's kinda confusing.

she's on the New Journey album, having recorded tracks on it, so i doubt a "guest member" would have recorded tracks on the album. however, she could not be in the group anymore or not be touring with them. if she had officially left the group they would say becuz they said when Meav left and have mentioned Lisa's maternity leave, as well. Nothing has been said about hayley.

but to officially answer your question, i don't think she's touring with CW this tour. she has solo dates booked in NZ.

As far as I know, Hayley is not part of CW any more. She was never taken into that group permanently, as she was only a guest artist for some concert.
