New owners of Tyne Valley pub to offer live music again

by Michael Nesbitt

James Cecil, new owner of The Landing Oyster House and Pub in Tyne Valley The Landing Oyster House and Pub is once again open for music, dining and the pleasures of an intimate venue.

James Cecil and his partner, Julie Coffey, gave up the Pacific-edge paradise of Victoria, BC., to invest in the pastoral pleasures of PEI. “I was working in a group home, a community support worker with disabled adults, and Julie was a surgical tech at a hospital,” he notes of their backgrounds. “We thought we would do something less stressful, like open up a pub-restaurant,” he laughs.
