About Me

Hi, I'm Don Gosling. I'm a 43 year old performer/composer living in Cairns, North Queensland, Australia. I've been playing and writing for 30 years, and performing for 27 years, since I was 15. I have played just about every style of music ,and find something to like in all forms.I am currently in a band called 'Girls Run Funny' here in Cairns and I've listed our gigs in my 'upcoming shows'. We play mainly guitar heavy new songs, rock/punk/metal etc. I also play solo doing my originals, plus classic rock ( Floyd, Hendrix,Clapton etc). I have set up this site to invite comment and discussion from like minded folk, or, I hope, for people to just listen and enjoy, I'll never be a "Rock Star", but that's ok, I still get to write and play whenever I want, and that's all I need. I get an immense satisfaction out of creating a song, and I hope you like hearing them. For those who are interested, I will try to keep updating gigs etc on this site.
