jonnyG Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Hello, I hope someone can help me. My friends are getting married in Hua Hin this coming August and have asked me to help them find a reggae band to play for the day. They have asked me to help because I live here in the LOS so it should be easier to find one, I'm having a hard time though! Does anyone have any contacts with decent bands up there? Maybe you know a band personally or have seen one play locally? Please post here or pm me to pass on telephone numbers etc Many Thanks from JG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astral Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Have you tried Jamaica? I think you will be out of luck in Thailand, especially Hua Hin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyk Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Toots and the Maytals. Jimmy Cliff works cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britmaveric Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Ziggy Marley! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seonai Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 There is a great one down here in the south called 'Job To Do'. If you want a price quote please send me a message and I'll get it for you. They have several albums out in Thailand. Seonai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bull Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 (edited) T-Bone are probably the biggest ska-reggae band in Thailand. You can check how they sound at Saxophone bar in BKK every Fri or Sat at midnight, since their are the resident band...You can talk to them at the end of the show. Should you not be able to make it, PM me and I will get you in touch with them... Bull Edited March 22, 2006 by Bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaibebop Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Ziggy Marley! His dad was better. Just play a Steel Pulse album an all will be well, mon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaaaaa Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I think reggae is not popular in Thailan, at least anymore in Malaysia may be more so - I rememmber in KL, CHina town, there is even one bar called something like "Could you be loved?" I doubt one can find live reggae band here nowdays. rap or hip hop mosre probably ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdnvic Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Ask Dave from the Blues Factory in Pattaya. Not exactly his focus, but I think he's probably one of the most knowlagable about live acts on this forum. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=61459 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyG Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 Thanks for the replies. If Ziggy Marley is willing to play in Hua Hin, I'll let you all know!! I have tried 'job2do' as they are fantastic live, their quote was a little (alot) out of price range though!! My friends have about 10k baht budget for this, so I'm not looking for the biggest or best bands around, just some local guys that would perhaps be happy for the gig and give my friends a great day! I have seen many reggae bands play around Thailand, I don't think its all that rare, but maybe my lack of success in finding one shows me something different! Still gotta check out the local bars in the South. Might be the best bet but, I thought I'd see if you Hua Hin locals had any insider info! johnnyk, you mention Toots and the Maytals and Jimmy Cliff, any idea where they play? Bull, please let me know about T bone, I'm not getting to BKK anytime soon, telephone numbers? Are they Thai? cheers guys. JG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seonai Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Jonny are you serious ?????? Toots and the Maytals and Jimmy Cliff???????????????? I run a small place with my hubby and 10K gets you nowhere with local bands. Seonai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyk Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Toots must be about 80 yrs old now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bardelmar Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 (edited) Hi there, I ' ve found this old post by searching for Job2do and I am hoping that you will be able to helping me... I recently opened a beautiful beach spot, a restaurant, bar & lounge on KC and I am very interested to get Job2do to play at my place for my grand opening party on December, 20th. Would you be able to help me with a quotation and booking contact? I am also interested in any possible sponsoring by Thai beverage companies, such as Singha, Chang etc... I am looking forward to hearing from you, Thanks & kind regards, BardelMar There is a great one down here in the south called 'Job To Do'. If you want a price quote please send me a message and I'll get it for you. They have several albums out in Thailand.

stgrhe Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 And where is KC? I have never heard of that acronym before so an explanation would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ndela Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Dunno if it's Koh Chang maybe? Also I don't think there's much point in asking seonai for advice if you look at the members group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazygourmet Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 JOB2DO But expect to pay somewhere around THB 80,000 PM if interested, I can put in touch with their manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
