Australia’s Lloyd Spiegel and Canada’s Charlie A’Court may come from opposite ends of the world, but their commanding performance styles, mutual passion for the Blues and death-defying touring schedules gives them a great deal in common.
Over the past decade, these two guitar slingers have collaborated several times on tours and festival bills and even released an album as part of the ‘ASV’ project with Canadian Blues legend Suzie Vinnick, winning a Canadian East Coast Music Award along the way.
Charlie is touring Australia throughout May and June and the two friends have taken the opportunity to perform a limited run of intimate double bills, performing solo and together.
Come join us for an afternoon of great music.

Back in April 1995, Rick Price released “River Of Love” the first single from the
album Tamborine Mountain which was also released in July of that same
year. The single as well as the album scored high on the ARIA Charts.
Produced by Rick and acclaimed New York Producer Ben Wisch featuring
special guest appearances by Tommy Emmanuel on “Foolish Heart” and
Tina Arena who joined Rick for the duet “Trust Me This Is Love”. The album
title refers to a picturesque rain forest area located in the Gold Coast
Hinterland near Beaudesert where Rick grew up.
After the success of the first single “River Of Love” a second single “Bridge
Building Man” was released. This song was written as an affectionate salute
to his father and grandfather. These songs remain in Rick’s set list to this day
alongside his mega hits “Heaven Knows” “Not A Day Goes By” and “Walk
Away Renee”
