i've been playing for about 11 years now...guitar...been in a band back home for about 6 years...did some concerts...now mosting jamming with friends...in jam studios...what kinda music are you doing...punk/alternative/rock/blues?...would love to get the band thing or at least jamming/practice going once i am in dubai...as hk its great...so was singapore...was wondering the same as you..are there live bands/or people looking to form a band in dubai?...i own a gibson les paul...1960s classic...how about you...singer/drummer/bassist?

Hey,

Check out Peanut Butter Jam, Wafi rooftops, Friday's from 8pm. Loads of local bands and singers doing their thing and people are welcome to get up and have a go.

Went to a place called Bar Zar in jumeria village, the moment I arrived in Dubai. There was a pretty cool 3 girl band (vocalist, bassist, guitarist).
Definitely worth checking out. Cool place too! (and cheap drinks )

One thing I forgot to add, go to www.phride.com it's where all the musos hang out.

checked the site out...great!!...theres hope yet...choc ...you into live music/bands etc...?...sleepless...that signature ..thats pink floyd...brings back memories!!

Well I'm into music for making a living, but can't play an instrument for toffee. The closest you'll get me to being musical is wailing at Harry Gatos!

haha!!...we call it kareoke here... ...hmm living with music info.../radio station/dj/music company exec...music magazine?...

No more info as I might give myself away and ruin the point of being anonymous.

respect that...anyways...if i do end up playing in dubai...puleeesee dont give me a bad review!!

Ahhh HAHHHHH I knew it Choco, you were that 40 year old bald guy that was standing next to me at the battle of the bands…..

ahahahaha nice one Fayz, no dude I'm and trust me I have a massive mane of hair!

Thanks for the advice guys. Chocoholic, I will check that site out. Sleepless, saw the band in Bar Zar and was impressed. Would like to have my own group though, maybe not even anything official, just jamming. Constantine, I'm a singer essentially but I also play guitar and teach music to elementary school kids. Fancy a jam session sometime?

DXBgoddess, glad you enjoyed Bar Zar
I've been on and off trying to teach myself acoustic guitar for the past year, but haven't had much luck
Do you give private or group sessions? Do you teach young adults or only kids? PM me the details if possible.
Thanks!
