Travelling to Oman and Dubai and India!

Hello!

I'm jekks, i'm a multi-instrumentalist and composer from australia for my group jekks and the priests of Heka (you can find us on google, soundcloud, facebook etc, i won't link to spam, but please investigate if you're interested!) we play live world instruments with electronic beats!

anyway, in February 2013 I am travelling to Dubai, Oman and India and I am wanting to know if anyone knows of any oud builders or stores in Oman (Muscat or Salalah) or Dubai (City dubai, we will only be there for maybe 1 or 2 days) I'm also heading to varanasi (Banares) afterwards but I have Indian friends who will help me out with instrument buying over there...

Please let me know.

Thanks!

Greg,

One of my groups is performing this saturday (thanmo Nomads) we play world instruments with our tibetan friend who sings and writes most of the songs, it's really cool, we have instruments form india, tibet, china, japan and the middle east.

as for my group, i'm hosting Cave of Wonders on 5 October (and monthly afterwards) at the beetle bar in roma street which will be world music fused with electronic beats.

Looking forward to seeing you around, make sure you come and introduce yourself if you come along
