Monsoon Aus Music Night

---

In order to celebrate the arrival of Cascade Premium and Coopers Pale Ale at their bar, my friends Yvette and Majid decided to hold an ‘Australian Music Night’. Monsoon is a gorgeous little bar that serves excellent Australian wine (Yvette’s influence) and delicious Pakistani cuisine (Majid’s influence). I was well and truly supportive of this idea, and took to the task of sourcing some great Aussie music for the event. One week before the party, Yvette and I spent a whole day collecting Australian music from both of our computers, and CDs donated by another AYA. We ended up with an amazing playlist, which I was quite proud of.

The night was huge, everyone loved the music, the Aussie beer was sold out by 10pm, and Yvette and Majid were sure it was the busiest they have seen Monsoon. I brought the Francophone contingent with me. (the Cambodian branch of 'the French Connection' for all my Lundian friends). My friends were the only 'non-australians' in the place I think, but were still very good at drinking Coopers and dancing to Kylie and Jet!

Romy managed to make it, even though she had been a bride’s maid at her Boss' wedding all day (and the two days before that..). She had been up since 4:30am, had 4 costume changes, and still managed to arrive at Monsoon at midnight in time to join us for a trek to ‘Spark’ and ‘the Heart’! She caused quite a commotion in her blue dress and big hair! Stunning!

I think I will become a DJ…..
