The Connact Monthly - April
Join us for another recap of the past few weeks as we reflect on what happened in April. As usual, there was a lot happening, and it was fantastic to see. So, let’s dive in!
An Púcán announced that they will host one of the hottest gigs of the summer. The Tumbling Paddies will take to the stage on June 6th, and it’s set to be a rip-roaring session with lots of cracking tunes from one of the best live bands in the country. It’s shaping up to be an incredible night at our fantastic city-centre bar on Forster Street.
Galway Bay Golf Resort hosted their Directors’ Cup in April, and there was a fantastic turnout as everyone showed up for a bit of friendly competition. It was terrific to see lots of amazing golfing on show throughout. Hearty congratulations to our winners Ritchie Glynn & Kara Shortt. Members’ Guest Week also took place a few weeks back, and it was fantastic to see so many new and familiar faces visiting us!
M. Fitzgerald’s announced their ‘Party for Free’ offering in April, and it was an invitation for all Fitzgeralds to book a free party in the pub’s fantastic Penny Bar. There was fantastic interest from lots of Fitzgeralds, and it was great to see Galway City’s newest bar become so popular so quickly.
The Connacht Hotel started promoting their summer BBQs this month. The Aviary at the hotel is the ideal place to enjoy some culinary delights in this ultra-modern covered outdoor space. The menu is brimming with tasty options like homemade 6oz burgers, chicken and tandoori skewers, hot dogs, and more.
There was more buzz in The Connacht Hotel with the visit of Jobs Ireland as they set up shop towards the end of April. It was fantastic to see such an enthusiastic turnout throughout – and there were a number of exciting hospitality roles advertised.
WYLDE Galway announced their fun social competition in April – giving anyone the chance to win free lunch with their bestie. To celebrate being named as the ‘Best Café in Galway, WYLDE asked anyone popping in for lunch to take a photo/video of their order and tag the high-end deli. A winner will be announced soon!
Galway Hooker started their ‘Meet the Team’ series recently, and up first we had Nicky Wilmott – one of the talented brewers at the Oranmore-based brewery. Nicky has worked with Galway Hooker for over 10 years, and took time out to tell us a little about himself and the work he does at the oldest-existing brewery in Connacht. Take a read on the Galway Hooker Facebook page.
HYDE’s Festival Edition Disco Brunch is just a few weeks away – and it’s all happening on June 2nd. Headliners on the night will be a fantastic main course brunch and two amazing cocktails - giving you the fuel you need for a fantastic session. Supporting acts on the day include a whole host of incredible tunes that are sure to get you in summer mode. Tickets available here!
