Sean -
Yes I believe my greatest hits has been one of the best sellers for E.M.I. and so it should be!

Miranda -
"Heart First" belongs to E.M.I,so I very much doubt it will ever be re-released.
No, Lisson Records was not my lable, it was part of PWL.

Im delighted that Anne Murray liked my version of "who's leaving who" - I am
a big fan of hers so its nice to hear that.
Re "Love Pains" - I think Liza and I spoilt each others chances of having
bigger hits - Liza got all the radio play, and I got the higher chart
position. I think my version is more powerful, but hey, Liza is a
legend...and im going to see her in May, no doubt I will sing along if she
does "Love pains'!!!
Yes, I have quiet a collection of various gold and silver discs (sadly no
platinum) . I only have one disc hanging on my wall at home, and that is
the first disc I recieved for "Searchin" which is obviously very special
to me (the rest are packed away in my loft).
I know I am owed a number of discs from overseas sales, but I didnt
recieve them
"Heart first" suffered from poor promotion, and a badly timed release.
I have no idea how many records I have sold worldwide....but it is a lot, I
am in the Guinness book of World Records, and was still in the top 500 most
successful British artists of the Century, in a book published in 2000, so I
cant have done too bad, eh?

Jake -
I didnt have particular "friends" at PWL as my closest mates where my mates
long before PWL - I was friendly with pretty much everyone, Matt, Mike and
Pete, Sonia, Sinitta, Kylie and Jason...its always nice to run into people
when we are working. Out of that crew, the only person I am in uite regular
contact with is Sinitta (when her inbox isnt full!!!!!)
Princess was a lovely person, but I have no idea what happened to her -
hopefully she is happy and well!

Sean -
iTunes has definalty brought my music to a wider audience, sadly it hasnt
brought any £££££'s to my bank account!
I have no idea what the proto 12' mix album is, or its release date -
therefore as ever, im sure I wont see a penny from its sale!

Miranda -
Apparently, yes, "Heart " was written for me. The Pet Shop Boys discussed it
in an interview for The Record Mirror, but I believe they liked it so much
they kept it for themselves!!!
I have met them on several occasions, but we have never spoken about it.
I was, and still am a big Pet Shop Boys fan.

Lek -
Glasd ou like the Almighty remix of "Searchin" - I like it too, wont be
long before I am singing it in my live shows.

Marvin Poole...LOVE YA TOO BABE!!
Auntie Hazell xx
Lisa...Check out the show dates section missy, there is NO excuse for not seeing me sing live. Yes I am a mum, and its great! xx
DJ Chris and Dean...re DVD compilations, sadly I have no control over DVD releases, as I do not own the rights of my videos, thse belong to either EMI or PWL, so sorry guys! xx
Gabby..Hello to you too! xx
Lauro... Sadly Are you Man Enough is not available anywhere that I know of, it was never released. Although saying that, tracks often apprear for sale that I have no knowledge of, nor has permission been given from me for their release - I certainly dont see any of the royalties! xx
Andrew Adams... "Searchin 2008" from Almighty - nothing to do with me. Almighty do NOT have my vocals, to my knowledge, therefore I can only assume it is a cover version. If you know anymore, please let me knoow. xx

Hi Dave,
Sorry, cant give you prices for Butlins - nothing to do with me.
The 80's weekenders are always very busy, and I have no idea if you can pay for one evening, or if it has to be booked as the full weekend - my only advice is contact Butlins direct!!!
xx
Marie & Lush -
Thank you for your messages about Kingston, I knew there was no way I would escape singing with Fil that night, glad you enjoyed it!!
xx
Dear Jan,
Yes, you were one of only a few to know my eyes are Hazel, and correct entries drawn out of a hat.
Your disc will be on its way shortly, I hope it arrives in one piece!
Unfortunatly, time does not allow for me to write my memories of everything I have ever recorded - im a busy girl, so just do not have the time.
If you guys want to discuss specifics on the forum, I may chip in occasionally.

Oh yes, I have laughed at that incident many many times over the years. It must have been damned difficult getting that tangled streamer from around his neck.
Im sure it’s a moment he would like to forget, but very funny!!!

Hi Soren - 20th Dec,
Glad you enjoyed my performance. I had fun that night, and enjoyed meeting the other artistes on the album. I didn’t stay too long - not a party animal.
Xx
Martin - 25th Dec,
Unfortunatly Searchin 2004 was never released, in fact I only ever sang it live 3 times, at Manchester and Cardiff Prides, and at The Flamingo in Blackpool - when the intro went horribly wrong! That’s show biz.
Xx
To Babs - 2nd Jan.
No, I never sang either of those songs, sorry, maybe you have me mixed up with Hazell O Connor, although they don’t sound like the titles of anything she would have sang either. Hope you find whoever sandg these songs!
Xx
Hi Louise - 2nd Jan
Glad I bring back happy memories of High School. Sadly I have never visited South Africa, dispite having hits there - maybe someday?

I hope for more than an adequate 2008 myself!!!

Hiya Sandra - 12th Jan
Great to hear from you. We are fine, happy and busy. Hope life is treating you guys well after The Grotton.
Show dates and venues get posted here on the site, so keep checking, I may be up North at some time. Don’t know if I will be invited to Manchester Pride this year, but as I always have a great time, I hope I will be there - but who knows!
Love to you both.

Not sure if it’s the best disco song ever - I think Miss Gloria Gaynor “Never can say goodbye” holds that title.
Xx
Hel M - 15th Jan
Im an old classic, just like ABBA - you cant beat a good simple song, with a great melody to fill the dance floor.
Xx
Jan - 20th Jan
Remix being worked on at the moment, which I am very excited about. In fact work is about to start on a new album, which will be remixes of hits and new original material. Will keep website updated on all news.
Re the Sonia song - no, I never recorded that track, in fact, I don’t think I heave ever heard of it!!!
Xx
Hiya Andrew - 20th Jan
Ive had some great shows in Belfast, but havent been over for quite some time. No shows in the diary for Ireland at the moment, so get your local club to book me, and I’ll be over for a visit!

Gareth - 28th Jan
Flawless?? Well that is very flattering, and kind…but fantastic, well of course I am dear, and modest too!
New material being worked on, and I am very excited about it - its great to be working on an exciting project….I will try to ensure it is flawless and fantastic

Sadly, I have no control over what EMI release….and im sure with the current state of affairs at EMI right now, that will be the last thing on their minds.
