Budding Musicians, Play On!
Want to play the guitar like Noel Gallagher? Or the piano like Jamie Cullum?
Well Now You Can! You just need to find the right instrument!
Musiqtrader.co.uk was launched recently, with a concept that is so simple, that it could prove to be vital to the future of the music buying and selling community.
Naimish Gohil, the London-based entrepreneur who set up the site, stated that his purpose was to "create an online service to help the 28 million Brits who want to play an instrument". A place in which to find and buy a musical instrument with minimal hassle, while at the same time allowing existing musicians and dealers of musical equipment to sell second hand or new instruments easily.
Why is it so simple? Well musicians can now find musical instruments advertised locally and nationally from other musicians and music shops! This will help budding musicians to find the instrument they want to play easily and at affordable prices. Hence buying and selling takes place between like-minded musicians and local music shops. In a nutshell, "It's a marketplace which is aimed solely for music lovers," says Gohil.
Gohil added "MusiqTrader isn't a Craigslist or Yell, but we're working towards being a household name for musicians, while at the same time striving to create an environment that will help those with a potential or proven passion for an instrument, to fulfill their dreams".
The site has around 10,000 visitors a month at present and that number is growing at a steady rate. The plan is to launch a dot com version and go multi-lingual by the end of the year.
After piloting in Essex, the site was launched to cover the whole of the UK by August 2006.
This is a small business with big ambitions. So go on, be a MusiqTrader and join the online music community.

Master Gee: ilikemusic because... It gives me an opportunity to truly express myself, unlike what happens in an everyday living situation where there are restrictions on you and limitations on you and demands on you and bills to pay, through music I can truly be comfortable with who I am, and do what I really want to do and say what I really want to say.
Sam, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly: ilikemusic because... Music is a special thing that is not like anything else in the world. You might argue that you can translate emotions through films and through books but anyone can make music, whether that be humming or singing along to the radio, it’s something that gives enjoyment and positivity to many people.
Taio Cruz: ilikemusic because... It’s my life and it’s the air that I breathe. It calms me when I’m feeling uptight and it’s there for me when I want to party if I want to listen to something up tempo, it’s just amazing in any situation. That’s why I like music!

Ellen, Los Campesinos: ilikemusic because... It’s the best form of escapism that you can have wherever you are. You could be completely miserable or waiting for a bus and put on any song that inspires you and you can escape into a little world, well that’s what I tend to do anyway.
Ali Campbell, UB40: ilikemusic because... It’s supposed to bring people together.
