Another great gig in Lorne at Qdos Art Gallery.
It was once again a great pleasure to make the trip down to Lorne and visit Qdos Art Gallery for the second time this year. Despite the rather dreary weather, there was a great turnout of people and MGQ really enjoyed the concert. The audience was very appreciative with the occasional wolf whistle, and it was a great evening of enjoyable music. MGQ look forward to their next visit in 2012. (Oct 2011)
MGQ would like to thank everyone in Perth for such a great visit!
IMGQ recently had a great 8 days with a busy schedule of workshops, radio interviews, a master class and not to mention the concert at WAAPA. Everyone was really responsive, enthusiastic and supportive of the work that MGQ strive to share with others. Thanks again Perth - MGQ look forward to next time! (Aug 2011)

- Important Announcement -
Thank you to all who attended the concerts for the highly successful 'Four Elements' Tour. MGQ had a fantastic time playing to such a receptive and appreciative audience, and have been busily working on material for their next album, which is scheduled for release in mid to late 2010.
A few tracks have already been recorded - and so far the CD is shaping up to be equal, if not greater calibre than that of Four Elements! Given the praise received from composers, radio presenters, fellow artists and our followers, MGQ are very excited about this next release. If you would like to offer your suggestions for CD titles send an email to info@mgq.com.au or send a message to MGQ via Facebook.
Make sure to keep your eye on the concerts page for the 2010 program, as there will be updates shortly. MGQ look forward to seeing you at the next concert!
