Live Music:

Noon - My Three Kilts

My Three Kilts is a three-piece Celtic band that plays traditional and modern Celtic songs. Most of the songs they play are heard in Irish pubs and have been passed down and recorded for many years. The songs are sing-a-long, clap-a-long, get your feet moving songs that get even the most stoic smiling and involved.

1:15 p.m. - Fighting 86's

The Fighting 86's is a Celtic/Roots Rock band hailing from New York's Capital Region. The players have been members of several prominent national and regional acts. Members have shared the stage with the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Deep Purple, Stevie Ray Vaughan's Double Trouble, Ted Nugent, Bruce Hornsby, Joan Osborne, The Samples, and many of today’s prominent National Irish Bands.

2:30 p.m. - McLean Avenue

McLean Avenue is a new name on a collection of well-known Irish/Celtic performers in the New York area. The band covers all types of music including Celtic, Irish and Pop. Traditional Irish tunes, waltzes, and upbeat hits carefully blended with the dancing songs of today’s modern world music.

4 p.m. - Trad at Heart

This compilation of Ireland's foremost traditional/folk artists has been one of the most successful collections of its genre to date. The band features the internationally-renowned and award-winning talents of Altan, De Danann, Arcady and Máirtín O'Connor and highlights the exciting virtuosity of Gerry O'Connor and Cooney & Begley.

6:45 p.m. - Dublin City Ramblers

The Dublin City Ramblers have thrilled audiences worldwide with their unique blend of ballads, folk, humor, wit and foot-tapping music. The band’s impressive career has spanned more than 35 years, with over 30 albums, top-ten hits, several awards for best Ballad/Folk Group and, to top it all off, eight Gold Albums.

8:30 p.m. - The Prodigals

The Prodigals is one of the most successful bands to emerge from the East Coast Irish scene. The band members grew up largely in Ireland; their original songs blend a funky and anarchic energy that is pure New York with a genuine passion for the traditional music of Ireland.

10:15 p.m. - Vertigo

Vertigo USA is an incredible live tribute to U2. In sight and sound, Vertigo recreates the magic that is a U2 concert. The attention to detail is well beyond what most people expect. Much like The Beatles tribute acts that perform with costumes representing the various eras of The Beatles' career, Vertigo has taken the same approach with their tribute to U2.
