   About David Hosking
In the early days David Hosking played with John Coltrane. Along with John Coltrane; you know........along with his records. He was a bit of a child prodigy........was John Coltrane. David doesn't play jazz by the way. We can go back further into the history of David Hosking although not much further than this......David attended a Little Richard concert while nestled in his Mother's womb. It was the tour of Australia where Little Richard had some kind of religious awakening and decided to throw all his jewellery into Sydney Harbour. A few months later David's Mother was lying on the examination table in the family doctor's surgery. His name was Doctor Starr. While David's Mother, Dawn, lay on the surgery table, his father Jack and the doctor stood on either side of her arguing about the Australian Rules Football Grand Final that both had attended the day before. This is the football game that only Australians seem to understand; but that's another story. Jack barracked for (supported) Essendon, while Doctor Starr barracked for Melbourne. Essendon lost. After the argument, and Dawn's examination was finally complete, Dr Starr told Jack to take her to hospital or he wouldn't get any sleep that night, because Dawn was going into labor. As Dawn got up off the table her waters broke and went all over the Doctor's blue suede shoes, ruining them................ "Down every street", the new album, hasn't officially been released yet but here's something nice that's been said about it!!!!! “David Hosking should be one of Australia’s most recognised singer songwriters, there is no doubting that. Why he isn’t is a question that simply puzzles me. Any muso he works with knows it, any time he performs (and that is not enough) the audience know it, every time I play a track on radio the phones light up. It remains one of life’s mysteries but this is one secret I’m happy to share as often as I can. Not the most prolific artist alive (as he says in Version of Me “I won’t be rushed”), a new album from David is always a revelation. Down Every Street is a sublime effort from a similarly sublime artist. As always the songs are strong, sometimes anthemic and sometimes poignant. The arrangements are understated but perfect, the lyrics honest, exploratory and bare. The moods range from stripped back acoustic sounds to brooding rock and roll with even a touch of mariachi horns. The musicians helping him out are simply expressing a shared joy at working again with superb material and a genuine musical enigma. I have always believed Hosking’s earlier album Jack’s Boy to be an Australian classic. Well, he’s done it again. Stunning. Joyful. Inspiring. Down Every Street should be compulsory listening. I am in danger of wearing my copy out.” John Carver Presenter of “Across the tracks” PBS Radio 106.7fm Melbourne.

STOP Same Sex Abuse





Apr 21 2009 10:49 PM

About this page:
I have been very active in Domestic Violence causes all of my adult life. I noticed a need in the world pertaining to Same Sex Domestic Violence. It happens more than people know. Unfortunately there are a number of gay people who barely consider themselves worthy or valued as a gay person much less a Domestic Violence Victim. There are also very limited resources, statistics, or information, for Same Sex Domestic Violence. Hopefully through empowerment and education we can change some of this. :D
