Playing music and buying musical instruments
Hi all,
Excellent site! Very new in Doha, landed on Oct. 1th... I was wondering, do they sell any decent guitars here? I left my guitars home and I miss playing!
I'm sure there must be loads of expats wanting to play music out there! Are there any rehearsal studios here? Where do they hang out? I've heard there's live music at Garvey's - haven't been there yet. There's also a blues band named Mojo around, they're playing once in a while at the Ramada. How can I get in touch? When do they play?
I left a decent band back home, we were into the blues. soul, funk, folk, rock and ''old stuff'' generally... ''Old stuff'' meaning american roots music dating the '20s upto the '70s... We even recorded a CD with my originals and sent it over to Alligator Records in the US... A nine member ''big band'' yes! With a nice gig record if I may add...
Now, I had to quit to get that job here. I'm sure all of us quit something / someone to get THAT job here so we're all partners into this! Anyone willing to play music, for the love of music whenever time is available (I know... we're all working and working) LET ME KNOW! Doha is a dry city for those who love music - let's change that somehow...
Cheers,

It'd be cool if you guys can get something together. Let us know.
Count me in psycomentos. I play punkrock, grunge, hardrock, hardcore, emo, anything loud with the guitar. I can also play the bass

Thanks for posting, just saw it, sorry for the delay!
I do share your feelings, although I'm not into the musical genres you like, we could have play sometime...
Take care
