SINGER Katie Noonan has launched a Twitter attack on Campbell Newman for talking right through her performance - and fellow entertainer Kate Miller Heidke has also blasted him.

Singer-songwriter Kate Noonan took to social media on Wednesday night and launched a scathing attack at Mr Newman after performing for him at a function for the opening of the One One One building on Brisbane's Eagle Street.

"Tonight was the first night I have played for an Australian premier and he/she has had their back to me the entire time, did not stop talking (loudly) during the entire performance and did not raise a hand for one single clap," Noonan wrote.

"Even sadder was that it was my own state's premier. Given his regard for arts policy thus far I guess this was sadly unsurprising." Her Tweet led to her Facebook page.

Brisbane singer-songwriter Kate Miller-Heidke followed suit this morning, tweeting a picture of Noonan's attack and voicing her own opinion.

"Seems our premier gives not much of a s*** about music and isn't too fussed about basic human politeness either," she wrote.

A spokesman for the Premier said Newman was only at the stand-up cocktail function for a short time.

"He had a queue of guests wanting to speak with him and had only 20 minutes before having to return to Parliament," the spokesman said.

"There was general chat in the room throughout the background entertainment and if Ms Noonan took offence, the Premier certainly offers his apologies."

Noonan told mX she was worried the Premier's behaviour was reflective of his attitude to the arts.

"One of the first things Mr Newman did as Premier was scrap the Premier's Literary Awards. Now there are talks the Queensland Government is going to scrap The Creative Generation Excellence Awards In Instrumental Music and Fanfare - two wonderful education initiatives that are vital to supporting the future of Queensland music.

"These moves, combined with his behaviour last night, has left me with a genuine concern about the future of my state's arts agenda."

Noonan will be on ABC panel show Q&A with outspoken politician Bob Katter on Monday, to be filmed live in Brisbane.
