In the last few months, the uptick of calls and messages regarding live entertainment has been getting better and better. The people have spoken; they want to see live performances again. With vaccine mandates now in place and QR codes being required to ensure the safety of patrons, it is really starting to look life is slowly getting back to normal. After almost 2 years of having to sit back and wait, the time has finally come for us to shine....
Believe it or not, its officially fall. Slowly the days are getting shorter, leaves are changing colour and the crisp autumn air begins to surround us. Usually the end of Summer is a pretty big bummer, but after the busy summer that we had, we welcome it! With restrictions easing for most events, this summer was a welcome change from the one we experienced the year prior. With Autumn officially underway, we can’t wait to see what this season has...
It has been a busy summer! With restrictions easing over the last few months, we have been getting more and more inquiries from people looking to make their event as memorable as possible. In this past month, we have had over 40 inquiries and have provided live entertainment to multiple events per day. This is a welcome change as the entertainment industry has been tough to navigate the last year or so. Entertainers went from not knowing when they will...
As summer progresses and case numbers remain under control, our city has officially begun its journey to reopening. We recently stepped into Stage 3 which allowed for lower restrictions but also has paved the way for businesses to begin allowing workers to come back to the office after being apart for over a year. For many, this will take some time to get used to, but others are very eager to get back as they truly miss seeing co-workers in...
We did it. Together, we weathered the worst of the storm and now, the future is looking brighter than ever. With each passing day, case numbers are heading down further and further which is allowing our once vibrant city to slowly begin re-opening. This is great news for everyone who has been waiting patiently to throw an event or organize their wedding. Trust us when we say, we know the last year has been frustrating to say the least, but...
The good weather is finally here! Although we are still manoeuvring ourselves through the remains of the global pandemic, the light at the end of the tunnel has never looked so bright. With great weather, we usually also welcome wedding season. Last summer proved to us all that we did not need to have an enormous amount of guests to have an elegant, simple and most importantly, fun wedding. This summer, smaller outdoor weddings are welcome as long as simple rules...
As February comes to an end, the world is optimistic about warmer days ahead. However with the pandemic still looming, the future still seems unclear and questions keep rising about going back to “normal” living. Although we cannot answer all questions at this time, one thing is certain: we need to keep strong. Last year, we had the pleasure of performing at socially distant outdoor events, as well as performing virtually for various clients. The feedback we received from our clients...
With 2020 now behind us, it is time to look forward to a brand new chapter. The holiday season is over and although we truly missed our holiday parties, it is time to get back to the drawing board. The world is still battling a pandemic but as the year ended, there was finally a light at the end of the tunnel. With the planet beginning its journey to recovery, we at Bongo & B have been busy behind the...
2020 was a turbulent year to say the very least. As the year progressed, it almost seemed like things could not get any worse. The global pandemic known as Covid-19 forced the world to pause everything and this affected every single person on the planet in some way or another. Many industries were forced to close and some were even driven to bankruptcy. Our industry was no different. Live entertainment was almost non existent in 2020 and recent studies from...
The world is changing every day and businesses are being forced to adapt to evolving circumstances. With this year’s pandemic, the entertainment industry found itself in a very odd situation. All major events began cancelling one by one and entertainers found themselves suddenly without a crowd to perform for. Luckily with the evolution of technology, although this virus has separated us, we are also more connected than ever. Say hello to Virtual Performances! But what is a virtual performance? Technically, a virtual performance is any performance/presentation...
