Gen and Lily from Belushi’s, Paris
In this month’s Who’s Who we sat down with Gen and Lily from Belushi’s, Paris. These two party girls seem like they love working at one of the biggest backpacker’s bars in Paris and with full reason. Big Screens, Live Music, DJ’s & the best parties keep them busy both on and off the clock, but luckily they were able to spare us some time from their hectic schedules and Jagerbombs to tell us about it.
So Guys tell the readers something about yourself...
- Funky Paris: What’s it like working in Belushi’s?
- Gen: Long hours but great fun!
- Lily: Yeah, we work hard, but play hard too!
- Gen: It’s difficult at times keeping the balance but we love our jobs and wouldn’t trade them for anything
- Funky Paris: What music would you play to get the bar rocking?
- Gen: We’ve got a huge selection of music in the bar, it really depends on what crowd’s in and how much of a party they want!
- Lily: And of course we have some great DJs on the team – DJ le Wig and Crood Oyl are my personal favourites!
- Gen: They sure know how to get everyone partying
- Funky Paris: What has been your favourite moment in Belushi’s?
