Live Music
n Live music emanating from the bar
(especially during summer months)
promote interest and curiosity among
those passing by in Kensington Market.
n Performances of crowd favorites and
upbeat songs promote excitement and
involvement from the audience.
n Small venue for these live performances
provides opportunities for closer
interactions with other patrons enjoying the
music and an intimate interaction with the
musicians.
n Consistent performers bring their fans back
again and again.
Community of Regulars
n Regular musicians returning routinely to
perform brings back regulars who enjoy their
music. These people gain a sense of
familiarity with the musicians and other
people enjoying the music.
n Relationships are established by these
consistent interactions and there is a sense
of camaraderie developed among regulars.
n Regulars return to not only see their favorite
live performers, but also to catch up with
close friends and have a fun evening. Marie (Regular): A self proclaimed
“glutton for live music.”
Introduction to Graffiti’s
Graffiti’s obtained it’s Liquor License in 1995
making it one of the oldest bars in Kensington
Market. The venue is known as an intimate
venue for quality live performances. Many of
the musicians performing at Graffiti’s have
been doing so for many years. The bar also
hosts a large clientele of regular customers.
Its unique atmosphere can be attributed to its
minimalism. It’s a small space with a bar and
seating area, a corner with the sound
equipment and there is no wireless internet.
People tend to know one another in the bar
and it is normal to see strangers introducing
themselves to one another.
Purpose
From research conducted in Graffiti’s, I
interpreted the success of the bar to be the
result of the production of a community among
the clientele through high quality, intimate
entertainment and a conducive space for the
development and maintenance of long lasting
relationships. In turn, these valuable facets
fuel a willingness of the clientele-community to
bring their business to Graffiti’s to support and
uphold these functions of the bar.
Expected Results

organizations logos on either side of the
title of the poster. Insert your text here.
Remember to size your font to fit your
information into the space. The larger your
font, the easier it will be for others to read
your poster.
Concluding RemarksAs these elements facilitate the building of
relationships and connections to the bar, the
network of regulars sustains itself. People
return for live music that they appreciate and
for the network of people that they have grown
a sense of familiarity with. This promotes their
patronage and hence, their investment in the
bar. Graffiti’s is more than a bar; it provides its
regulars with a membership within a
community and this facilitates their return. As
such, their return supports the business of the
bar.

“You only ever
have to sit and
have a beer twice
at Graffiti’s and
then people are
going to talk to
you.” – Nicole
Kelly (Regular)
“Then there are various people that from
wherever come here ‘cause they know there’s
gonna be good music.” Stephen Mitchell (Owner)
Guy (Regular) describes the New Years Party he
attended at Graffiti’s as “having a house party
without the mess.”
