It was up the Hudson for full day of Irish music at the Riverfront Green right next to MetroNorth Hudson Line's Peekskill Station

and, as promised, a great time was had by all!

Jameson's Revenge jaw-dropping set rocked the crowd and an eye-popping sunset on the Hudson were a prefect match at the end of a great day!

Fun for the whole family on the shores of the majestic Hudson! What better place to hear "Shores of America" performed by Celtic Cross?

A showstopper occurred when local heroes Tim Murphy and Pipe Major Joe Brady performed Tim's stirring song, "The Firefighter's Creed" to the accompaniment of our massed pipe bands as part of our 9/11 Tenth Anniversary Commemoration.
