All you need is love!

ROCK IN PEACE on Thursday 28 March at The Prince Consort to commemorate the life of the late Brisbane music journalist, policy advocate, historian and author Ritchie Yorke, in what would have been his 80^th year.

Ritchie formed solid friendships with the global legends of the day throughout his impressive career and ROCK IN PEACE features a musical tribute to those artists Ritchie supported such as John Lennon, Aretha Franklin, Van Morrison, Led Zeppelin, Procol Harum, The Band and more.  

The theme on the event is based around songs/bands that Ritchie helped get to the top.

The musical component of this unique Happening pays respect to the songs and bands that Ritchie helped climb the charts and will be performed by Sahara Beck, Bud Rokesky, Emma Bosworth, Nik, Angie & Harry Phillips, Ben Mackay, Alex Henriksson, Mou, Angela Fabin, and Tio Moloantoa.

Attendees are encouraged to send a message of peace and please wear white to honour the movement and Ritchie’s relationship with John Lennon and Yoko Ono.   Ritchie became an official Peace Ambassador during John and Yoko’s 1969 campaigns for peace, which included two-week “bed ins” in Amsterdam and Montreal, and looking across the Chinese border armed with banners promoting harmony.  Ritchie continued to work with Yoko on various projects until his passing.

ROCK IN PEACE doors open at 7pm and tickets are $20 with a lucky door prize.

So Give Peace A Chance and book your via Consort  website and at the door.
