Sorry colleen forgot about the dreaded Krapeeokee night at Ruffles,you do get local singers (backing tapes etc..) though, which are quite pleasent.
Same in the Peacock which also has Goa's star performer 'Pauli' singing his naughty little dittys - quite good for a laugh.
Jazz House can varie on music styles,they have a guy doing the rounds called 'Andre' Goa's answer to Neil Diamond (does too many performences in a season so his voice isn't too good)
Forget to mention The Spice Garden in Candolim - not brilliant with food,nor the service (another thread on here about it) but the talent that they have on everynight can be good - local guy who plays the flute was on last year (as good as James Galway) - have fun !

Hi i think i already know the answer to my question, but ive not been for a couple of years and people have been saying more tourists are going to Goa. Are there any places that play Indie music?

Thanks

Hi yummymummy,
There's a Band out here called "The Raindogs", they do a bit of indie type stuff in their set. You can catch them all over the Baga/Calangute/Candolim area. Lead singer is a Scottish Guy called Deek.....he sounds and has the patter of the Big Yin. There's also a guy called Stewart who has gone solo from the Raindogs, he's out and about too doing his own thing.
Also try Myoma's on a Sunday evening, they have a huge jamming session. (i think it still takes place)???

Hi i didnt actually mean 'indian' music, although that would be good. I meant songs like kaiser chiefs,the killers, oasis etc. :oops:
Its ok, i think i already knew there wasn't going to be anywhere that plays that sort of music, its hard enough finding a decent bar back home that plays it, nevermind on holiday. Ill just have to take my mp3 player and listen to that in the hotel.

I am absolutely ecstatic that Stu and Deek are still about and jammin. my friend Nadine and I took my mum to see Stuart at arabian nights one night when I was out there 2 years ago and his rendition of tears in heaven by eric clapton brought tears to our eyes. he is amazing and he was really good to me when I first got there,looked after me and gave me a place to stay for a few weeks. hes an awesome guy and if anyone sees him please tell him Essex (please dont ask !! ha ha ) said hi. hopefulyy I'll get to see him at myomas when i'm out in 2 weeks

hi tashalee where is arabian nights? me and my wife are off to goa on sunday and it would be great to go to a jammin night out like you describe

candolim somewhere I'm not sure he plays there anymore or if they have music for that matter, but looking at other threads theres definately music over at myonas and if they are creatures of habit then Stu and Deeks will still be drinking at Bharats on corner of Baga road and Titos road. that used to lead to impromtu sing songs as the honey bee level rose

Hi Bluemoon,

Myomas is on the Baga Creek, go thru the boxbridge from Baga, turn right and Myomas is on the left.

Just heard this morning that Deek and a few other musicians will be doing a weekly spot at Shooters on the Baga Road from next Wednesday and every Wednesday until the end of the season.

Deek and Stuart played as "The Raindogs" at Shooters a few seasons back and it was packed every week so get there early if you want a seat.

Stuart is still doing the rounds and he's as mad as ever!!!
