On Sunday 29th August the magnificent Independence of the Seas will pay her final 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.
This will be the final Summer Swing of this years series and has something for all ages at this full days event. Headlining at 2.30p m will be the ever popular ‘Big Band’ who 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 three from the Cobh Confraternity Brass & Reed Band, the band play classic soul, jazz and pop with Katie McGroarty and Deputy Mayor of Cobh Councillor Jim Quinlan both on lead vocals. This group are guaranteed to entertain!
In addition to the swing element there will be a carousel for the children, facepainters, and a host of other entertainment including the very talented Diarmuid and Niamh who will entertain with some traditional Irish Music while these will be followed by Cold Shot lively mix of popular rock anthems. If all this wasn’t enough there will be a wide variety of arts, crafts and even the local farmer’s market.
With something for everyone on 29th August why not come to Cobh and enjoy all it has to offer. For further information check out www.cobhharbourchamber.ie or www.cobhcalls.com
