Free Family Entertainment to kick start the Liner Season in Cobh

On Friday 30th April the magnificent Celebrity Eclipse 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 an early prelude to the Summer Swing Series this year on 30th April 2010 the town will come alive with a host of various musical entertainment. Cobh’s own ‘Big Band’ will perform many of your favourites on the beautiful restored bandstand in Kennedy Park (known locally as ‘the prom’). The Big Band started playing together last summer, and have been regularly playing pubs and functions ever since. Featuring eight veteran musicians all from the town, including two from the Cobh Confraternity Brass & Reed Band, the band plays soul, jazz and funk with Katie McGroarty and Councillor Jim Quinlan both featuring on lead vocals. They will be followed by the very talented Niamh and Diarmuid will be on hand with traditional Irish music, Dan Noonan of Disco 2000 is sure to have you dancing and also the local farmer’s market and arts and crafts stalls will have something for everyone. Not forgetting the children who will be entertained by a face painter and balloon clown and much, much more.

So why not come to Cobh on Friday and enjoy all that is on offer. Visit cobhharbourchamber.ie  and cobhcalls.com for further information
