TESTIMONIALS: Queens Place Emera Centre Arena
​
"Acoustics in the arena are great! Not many facilities have put a lot of thought in the acoustics, here they are great! We knew within five minutes we were not going to have any issues."
Drew Zibin, Sound Engineer & Tour Manager - The Washboard Union - June 15,2018
​
"Queens Place Emera Centre located in Liverpool Nova Scotia is one of the best sounding arenas for a concert I have ever been in over the past 35 years. The staff without a doubt work very hard to assure the event runs without a hitch. The end result is a very pleasant experience for the show and the audience. Last but not least, this past weekend Charley Pride took to the stage and as a result of what was mentioned above, the audience received a terrific show and one that the people of Liverpool and surrounding area will never forget."
Brian Edwards, President Rocklands Entertainment ,Charley Pride in Concert Saturday May 31, 2014
