Dr Keane described the performance as “warm, fun and lively entertainment for all ages. We enjoy ourselves, and so should our audiences".

According to Artspace Director Robert Heather, “This concert is just one of many collaborative projects between Artspace and the Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music and this type of event is proving to be very popular with Mackay residents.".
