have been welcomed to Spike Island so far this year, with a target
100,000 visitors by 2020. As tourist numbers soar,
the Port of Cork is believed to have entered negotia- tions with Cork County Council to provide a Sea Bus to open up other ac- cess routes onto the island. It’s understood a new
multipurpose berth will be created at Lynch’s Quay where the new service is to be based. Throughout its history,
Spike was a Monastic set- tlement in the 7th
century,
an artillery fortification built in the 18th
century by
the British with subsequent forts built in the late 18th and early 19th
a prison in the 19th
century, and cen-
tury, where thousands of prisoners were transported from Spike to Australia. Spike Island remained un- der British control follow- ing the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921 and it was handed over only in 1938 when the last British forces left.
Youghal Musicians Set for Annual Christmas Jam
by JORDAN MCCARTHY
the Youghal Musicians’ Annual
The 2017 edition of Christmas Jam
is happening on Wednes- day 20 December in the Nook Bar. The ‘Christmas Jam’
has become a fun tradi- tion for Youghal’s per- formers and music lovers alike, and the message from the organisers this year is
to ‘‘bring an in-
strument and bring a friend’’. The open ses- sion kicks-off at 9pm and all are welcome. Lots of singers and musicians from the area, varying across several musical genres, will be perform- ing on the night, in what has proved to be a very popular custom, down

through the years. Ahead of
the event,
local musician Martin Baylor, who has been ev- er-present at the various jamming sessions over the years, said; ‘‘I came up with an idea back in October or November 2005. Basically I thought that, if you work in a shop or wherever, you get a Christmas party, right? Well, the musicians who go out and entertain everybody else
through-
out the year deserve a night out, the same as everyone else. ‘‘So, we
organised it
ourselves - as we work for ourselves. There’s no one to do it for us. And it’s snowballed since its inception in 2005. Long may it continue!’’
