Australian music icon Rick Price lit up the stage at Souths Leagues Club last Thursday night, performing to a lively crowd in support of Mackay-based domestic violence charity, Broken Ballerina Inc.
The performance was part of Price’s Tamborine Mountain 30th Anniversary Tour, celebrating three decades since the release of his much-loved album. In a gesture that struck a powerful chord with the community, $10 from every Mackay ticket and $5 from each Bowen ticket was donated directly to Broken Ballerina Inc, helping support victim-survivors of domestic and family violence.
Broken Ballerina founder Jules Thompson said the evening was a moving reminder of how music can unite people for a purpose.
“We had the best time watching Rick Price on Thursday night,” Jules said. “We are so grateful for the money that was raised for Broken Ballerina Inc. Thanks Rick, you are a true gentleman and an inspiration.”
Humble and down-to-earth, Price delivered an outstanding and intimate performance that captivated the audience from start to finish. A hot pink guitar was auctioned during the event, which was won by a devoted fan who has cherished Rick’s music for more than three decades, with all proceeds supporting the charity.
Fans were treated to timeless hits including Heaven Knows, Not a Day Goes By, and Foolish Heart, with his soulful voice and heartfelt storytelling leaving a lasting impression.
The event not only celebrated Australian music at its finest but also highlighted Mackay’s enduring spirit of compassion and community.
