Rosie Spotlight: A Chat to Beth

 

Meet Beth – a football fanatic, creative, music-loving member of the Rosie bar team! Currently studying a Bachelors of Biomedicine, Beth has been a gun behind the bar for over 2 years and can often be found in the Main Room boogying with her parents to brit pop & rock bands.

What do you enjoy most about working at Rosemount?

I’d love to say it’s the culture or the music, but really the people I work with make the place what it is. We’re a very tight knit bunch, great banter all the time whether it’s behind the bar pouring pints or out on the drink together.

Tell us about your hobbies & interests outside of work that you’re passionate about!

I am a very big football fan as my family are all from the UK & have been playing since I was little, which is probably my #1 love. I’m also very into my drawing and painting! And of course, as most of us at the Rosie are, I’m very into my music which makes this venue a stellar place to work. 

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go, and what’s the first thing you’d do there?

I would love to visit Greece, as I missed getting to go there during my gap year in Europe. I would order a fat greasy gyros on touchdown. 

Do you have a favourite Rosemount memory? Dish!

That’s a hard one, definitely have witnessed some pretty funny & memorable stuff in my time here. I’ll probably have to say it was the first New Years I ever worked because we got up to some crazy shenanigans behind the bar. Other than that I’d say as a punter I’ve been to some pretty great gigs with my family in the Main Room and they’ve all been very memorable. 

What kind of music do you enjoy, and is there any upcoming shows in Perth you’re excited to see?

I listen to so much different music but my favourite genre would probably be brit rock / britpop / brit indie. Stone Roses, Oasis, Blur, Joy Division etc. I’ve got no upcoming music shows that I’m currently lined up for but am super keen to get stuck into the fringe season with my parents! 

If you could have dinner with any three people, dead or alive, who would they be and why?

1. Liam Gallagher because he’s just a funny guy

2. Roy Keane because he’s just footballing genius

3. I’ll bring my dad along because I think he’d enjoy that line up. 

What’s the best concert or live performance you’ve ever been to?

Another hard one. I’ll maybe say The Stranglers, saw them in Manchester and Perth and they were equally great both shows.

If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three things would you want with you?

A giant bucket of popcorn chicken, a football and a really comfy blanket. 

What’s something most people wouldn’t guess about you just by meeting you?

I’m currently studying a Bachelors of Biomedicine and looking to go into something in that field, but will always have a love for bartending and reckon I’ll still be doing the odd rockstar shift at the Rosemount once I’ve graduated!
