I was out and about at Café Bistrot, an arty bar a stone’s throw from my home in Milan, last night. Aside from being a friendly place, this bar is also rather photogenic and live music can often be heard there. Owner Carlotta is a down to earth lass and her presence undoubtedly adds to the relaxed atmosphere of this Milan venue.
Here are a few of photos of Carlotta’s joint in which a group of local musicians whiled away an evening jamming, while I photographed them strumming their stuff. They were very good too.

Here’s one of the guitarists with Carlotta’s dog:

The second photo has been blessed, or, depending on your point of view, blighted, by noise – the bane of the digital photographer – except this photo was shot in low light with an ISO of 2,500 and I quite like the effect.

Stop reading, start speaking

Here’s another guitarist:

Betty Boop can be found here too:

It’s pretty good having cool places virtually on your doorstep.
