Well summer is well and truly upon us and we can safely say that we seem to have been blessed so far (touch wood) with the weather this year and the quality of the events so far. In the last few weeks Schull has played host to a Film Festival (despite not having a cinema!) and a Triathlon as well as the many activities around to keep everyone active and there is still many things to look forward to over the coming months especially in Schull.

This upcoming Saturday the 3rd July,  the LiveStock Cork Festival (nothing to do with cattle) will be held in the Courtyard Bar, just up the main street from us, in Schull. This 1 day music festival, along with its sister festival in Kells, highlights the best of irish live music in an event packed day and night starting from 2 o clock  on Saturday and ending at 12:30 in the early hours of Sunday morning. The confirmed acts so far include Ian Whitty & The Exchange, O Emperor, Setmaker, John Blek & The Rats, 21 Demands, Travega, Jill Deering & Stace Gill, Martin Staunton & The Lost Parade with more to be confirmed.

Admission for this festival is only €8 at the door. So if you want to see the full range of Irish live music talent on display why not pop down to the Courtyard Bar in Schull on the Saturday the 3rd July at 2pm and see where the rest of the day and night take you.
