Hotel hopes to fill gap

A Woy Woy hotel is promoting itself as a venue for entertainment for 35 to 50-year-olds.

The Bayview Hotel Woy Woy is wanting to become a venue on the Peninsula where they can listen to bands playing the music they grew up with, according to performer Phillip Hopson.

Mr Hopson said: "Very few pubs or clubs on the Coast provide quality entertainment which caters to the Baby Boomers who want to get out and rock the night away on a Saturday night.

"To satisfy this need, The Bayview has booked a stable of bands that will play on a regular cycle each Saturday night so that people will know in advance who is playing when," Mr Hopson said.

"The range of music played by the bands is from the 50s through to the 90s."

Owner and licensee of The Bayview Mr Garry Narvo said: "We are filling the gap here on The Peninsula and surrounding areas by providing quality entertainment on a Saturday night for the 35 to 50 age bracket.

"The bands I have booked for this year will well and truly meet this demand.

"One of our regular bands The Generators has built up such a following of regulars that whenever the band plays extra staff are required.

"Our aim at The Bayview is to provide a quality Saturday night out for our customers - fantastic food from our award-winning Brasserie and then great entertainment from bands playing the music we grew up with and don't hear on the radio anymore."
