One More Tune
Mike Dorbyk of Monarch Tavern and Bracebridge Hall
In Episode Three I sit down with Mike Dorbyk in the lovely Bracebridge Hall Music and Events Space to talk all things live music.
Mike is the owner of Bracebridge Hall and also the famous Monarch Tavern in Toronto's Little Italy hood, one of the cities oldest and most revered bars.
Mike has been ingrained in the Toronto music scene for over 20 years having been an underground house promoter at the turn of the millennium on Queen Street West, a set up which lasted for 12 years before getting involved with The Monarch Tavern and most recently setting up Bracebridge Hall in May 2019.
We talked about his love for going to shows at the CNE, his very fortunate Glastonbury experience, why he doesn't like amps turned up too high and the challenges that have faced the live music and events scene this year.
Big thanks to Mike for his time and generosity. You can follow The Monarch Tavern @

and Bracebridge Hall @ http://www.instagram.com/bracebridgehall for all their updates, and if you're in either area you can always pop in for a pint
