The Tug is a great place to dine and listen to live music. It has a grand piano, a stage, and a huge patio, that recently has had a huge tent installed (with heaters), which overlooks the Inner Harbour, It’s between the new bridge and the Canoe Club. Parking on the street is $1:00 per hour, or if you don’t mind walking a couple of blocks, it’s free.
There is lots or room for social distancing at all of the above and the staff and band are taking the necessary precautions. The band will been playing using the BC Government’s latest guidelines – without any amplification and the appropriate distance from the closest tables.
The band will be Joe Hatherill – clarinet, and myself – piano and vocals, and we have special guest Nick Mintenko (Thursday and Sunday) and our regular bassist Joey Smith (Friday) – both play standup bass.
Please join us.
“Their ensemble (Bastion Band) is marvellous and achieved with very few obvious signals, as one would expect from a group that has been together for almost three decades.”
