Summer Swing Free Family Entertainment for May

On Sunday 30th May the magnificent Independence of the Seas liner will pay her first visit of the season to Cobh and to mark this occasion the Cobh and Harbour Chamber are hosting a full day of FREE Family entertainment to delight locals, visitors and passengers alike.


As part of the Summer Swing Series this year on 30th May 2010 the town will come alive with a host of various musical entertainment.  The ever popular ‘Swinging Bluecats’ will perform many of your favourites on the beautiful restored bandstand in Kennedy Park (known locally as ‘the prom’). The Swingin' Bluecats are a six piece Jump, Jive & Swing band specialising in the type of music that kick started the Retro Swing movement in the 1990's. Suited & booted in 1940’s retro style royal blue zoot suits, the band have brought the house down at many prestigious events and venues this year including Boutique Burlesque, Carlsberg Rhythm & Roots Festival, Rose Of Tralee - Festival Dome, and the Guinness Cork Jazz Festival, to mention a few. The band is firmly focused on delivering the finest in Jump, Jive & Swing and are guaranteed to entertain!


In addition to the swing element there will be traditional Irish music by the talented Niamh Halligan and there will be a wide variety of arts, crafts and even the local farmer’s market who will have something for everyone.  Not forgetting the children who will be entertained by a face painter, balloon clown and Arty Kids arts and crafts.

So why not come to Cobh on Sunday and enjoy all that is on offer.
