The Summer so far

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010 by Hotels by the Mizen Peninsula

Well it has been an eventful summer so far in Schull with film and art festivals, triathlons, summer shows and regattas etc. Its just over a week since the Calves Week 2010 ended on Sunday the 8th August so congradulations to all who took part in what was a memorable regatta. With summer still in full swing and the glorious weather still holding up there are many things to continue to look forward over the next few weeks of summer. As well as taking advantage of the beautiful coastline which is perfect to enjoy on these long sunny summer days, the Perch Bar in our own Harbour View Hotel has been providing a venue for some live entertainment in the past few weekends and continues to do so.

This upcoming weekend we are pleased to announce that exciting Cork city band “the Planted” will be playing here at our Perch Bar this Saturday night. This energetic two-member band provides actively riveting live shows. Their music covers a range of genres such as pop, rock and country with music from 70′ right up to the present day charts offering  an entertaining night out for all ages. So for those of you enjoying the summer in Schull, there is still some thrills and fun to be had at night this Saturday in the Perch Bar.
