Auckland:

“As well their ability to sing like a choir of angels they can sing like a rowdy pub crowd or an earnest revolutionary mob… a concert filled with moments of vocal magic”

Melbourne:

"Derek Bogle’s song ‘’And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda” always brings me to tears but the dissonance between the bare-faced lyrics…and the light musical setting was even more poignant due to beauty of the arrangement and the softly caressing warm velvety tones that is the King’s Singer’s signature sound.”

"The harmony, balance and resonance of this a cappella troupe is second to none... by any measure, this was a perfect performance."

Brisbane:

"With a bass line evoking the threnody of the pipes, and beautiful complex harmonies enhancing a simple melody this was a song for the ages, and there was the “good silence” in the audience as all of us were enthralled...One imagined the acoustic of a cathedral as we heard their glorious harmonies, cut-glass counter-tenor lines soaring to the stratosphere, and counter-balancing deep bass. Just glorious."
