Guesthouse Bistro Hosts Weekly Live Music Performances
community · Guesthouse Bistro, Denman Island
The Guesthouse Bistro on Denman Island operates as a bistro, art gallery, and music venue, hosting live music performances nearly every week into spring 2019. The venue attracts touring musicians from across Canada and local regulars, offering paid performances supported by audience contributions. The venue also features organic food, coffee roasted on site, and a bulk food buying club.
This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.

- “Sheldon’s program for 2019 is intense – a performance practically every week going well into spring, mostly all new faces, plus the island regulars who, he says, can be counted on to fill the place up... The Guesthouse is also an art gallery... They run an organic food buying club for bulk grains and have a room off the bistro where you can bring your own containers to fill up on rice, beans, and flours... The sale of bulk grains now accounts for half their orders.” — The Islands Grapevine – January 24th, 2019 (January 24th, 2019)
