Reviews: 	John Colwill, “Choir, orchestra in unusual program”, Courier Mail, 8 Sept. 1986. “The sound from the festival chorus was strong, with clear diction, but especially in unaccompanied sections … [was] a pleasure to listen to.”<<BR>>
	“Concert a fitting tribute”, n.p., 7 Sept. 1986. “The singers were confident although the sopranos occasionally appeared to be reaching for higher notes and diction was not always clear … The choir gave a beautifully rationalised account of Michael Leighton-Jones’ short unaccompanied setting One Time My Note Would Dance … [In the Howells,] the singers convincingly brought out the powerful harmonic language.”
