Performers who appeared on the series included the Balamindi Harmony Club, singer Pat Spencer, singer Frank Ifield, violinist Geza Bachman[1] dance caller Garry Cohen, singer Myrna Dodd, and singer Geoff Horner[2]

At least a couple episodes of this series still exist, and are held as 16mm kinescope recordings by National Archives of Australia
