Ongoings at the Bistro

Been a couple of weeks since I've posted about the Bistro.  These last two weeks I have been looking to change things up a bit adding some new...and by new I mean new...and classic tunes to the line up.  We celebrated a few birthdays as well and it was nice to see some of the regulars coming out to party. 

I have been digging around the archives to add to my collection since I've been getting a lot of requests for 90s hip hop..  Also for some reason had no Tragically Hip on my laptop...which of course is a Tragedy!!

The thing is I don't carry my whole music collection with me.  Especially easy listening tunes.  My music selection on my laptop is more geared for mobile events where I try to keep a dance floor full!  Although there is some dancing at the Bistro for the most part I also try and play some tunes that people can just listen to and enjoy their drink especially at the beginning of the night.


It's funny how in the internet age people think or expect that you have every piece of music out there and look at you funny when you tell them you don't have the track they are requesting!   I do however right down the requests and try and have it available the following week by getting the song legally...
