GIG REVIEW
Saturday Matinee Performances
A Magical Matinee at Timothy’s Pub
Decades ago, bands used to dread the weekend
matinee gig. Because usually it fell after several
nights in the same venue, playing till the wee
hours of the morning, making for a group of
exhausted musicians playing for a handful of
hungover patrons on a Saturday or Sunday
afternoon.
Matinees at Timothy’s Pub are the polar opposite
of that old-school scenario! A neighbourhood
meeting place, dedicated to live music, Timothy’s
draws a regular crowd of Saturday and Sunday
afternoon revellers who come to enjoy great pub
food and some mid-day rockin’ fun – and the
bands had better bring their “A” game.
One regular patron told us that Saturday
afternoons are no walks in the park for the
performers – this a discerning crowd that expects
anyone taking the stage to measure up to the
high bar that owner Tim Brem has established
over his years in the hospitality and
entertainment business.
We had an absolutely smashing afternoon! The
house was full, the dance floor was hopping, and
we simply could not have had more fun. We were
thrilled to hear great comments from the clientele
(one posted on our Facebook page the next day
that “We go there all the time and EVERYONE is
talking about you guys!”). And best of all, Tim is
adding us to his roster of regular bands!
