Review
'NEWS'
The Australian , 28 October 1826, p. 3.
'The Amateur Concert, which took place on Wednesday last, was very much on a par, in point of attraction, with most of its predecessors; but the attendance of company was not quite so brilliant as usual. We have heard this circumstance, mainly attributed to its not being generally known that a concert was about to take place. The benefit of Mrs. Jones, at the Concert Rooms, on Monday next, is expected to be tolerably attractive. The Lieutenant Governor, we find, is patron in chief. Much industry has been exerted to give eclat to this concert.'
