There's no stopping Cairns folk makin' music.                         

Maiia: Terry Doyle's -Singer-Songwriter night on a Thursday is just one example of Cairns regional development.   I've seen the diners at Mondos discover not aural wall-paper - but real local talent. 

The Doyle boys, Terry and brother the late great Tony Doyle, friend but no relation to Chris Doyle, keep the Aussie larrikin alive through the  over-commercialised/exploitive  1980s and  1990s.  Now Terry's son Jake Doyle's on the stage as well. 

The Australiana Toad Show's been a classic. Back in the old Johno's days etc...

TJohno Johnson turned out for their Blues Night, having both worked in Cairns for many years  -there's a youtube (below) of the Doyloes performing at the legendary Johno's Blues Bar
