Hey Tunestars,

Bec here! Another successful and fun weekend at Tune-Up.  Friday night was full of fierce fellas and tonight (Saturday) seemed to be teaming with the lovely ladies. My ears are ringing with a lot of Amy Winehouse, a bit of Blondie and my favourite ladies from the 80’s, Salt ‘n’ Pepper (who are touring in Aus this year if you haven’t been listening to the radio!) I’m happy to say we didn’t have anyone sing Bohemian Rhapsody (sorry guys, I know you all love it, but I think I’ve heard that songs more times than I’ve heard Happy Birthday!)

So I’m now in my third year of working for Tune-Up and this weekend had me reminding why I love this job so much and it’s quite simple…there’s just no other bar or job in general that I can imagine being as fun, entertaining and rewarding as Tune-Up. I know it’s cliché to say’, but there really is no place like it. Another reason why I love and enjoy my job is so much is the incredible team I work with. First off there’s Kats, our crazy, cool Bon Jovi look-a-like boss; and he really is the coolest boss; then there’s our gorgeous, witty manager, Carly and my fellow team mates Laura and Kelcey- what in the world would I do without this dream team. 🙂 Not to forget our customers. We have such a great time with you all. We love watching each of you get up the courage to sing for the first time. Watching our regulars who are up on the stage every week. Or those who prefer to sit, watch and cheer them on. You are what makes this place great!

This weekend also had me realising just how clumsy a human being I am. When people ask me what my main personality trait is, I would certainly say it’s my lack of co-ordination. This became very apparent to the 50+ patrons in our bar tonight when I tripped and fell over one of our customers’ guitar in front of them all- legs in the airs, glasses all over the floor, the whole shebang…. and it’s sad to say that that has happened many many times in this place. I think people are highly deceived when they assume bartenders/hostesses are classy, co-ordinated, highly talented human beings because I am a prime example that no, we are not. Or perhaps that is what separates the Tune-Up girls from regular bartenders. We have that little bit of spunk 😉

Anyhow, I’ve had an incredible weekend with all you crazy kids and we sure hope you did too if you came up and visited us. We look forward to another incredible week ahead at Tune-Up. Start stretching those vocals cords!

Goodnight, folks 🙂
