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.

Cobh. Running exhibitions, music concerts and Community Engagement
activities, as well as an internationally recognised Artist in Residency
Programme, the Sirius is housed in the listed heritage building, known
formerly as the Old Royal Yacht Club.

Like many arts organisations, this year is a struggle for Sirius due to the
economic downturn and €20,000 in funding cuts. This Open Garden fundraiser
is a way you can come out and enjoy one of the jewels in East Cork at
Cuskinny House and help support this worthwhile organisation at the same
time.

Local Wildlife Expert Jim Wilson will give a guided talk “Exploring
Cuskinny’s Wildlife” at 3:00pm on the day – an event you definitely won’t
