    The Snakes performed to a full house at The St. James’ Gate Publick house last night as music lovers enjoyed the finest local pub grub and drink in the Irish tradition of the Meade family.

    The event, thanks to the generosity of our supporters, was a great success which helps ensure future programming to the youth of Maplewood & South Orange.

    A special thank you to The Snakes who donated their talent and to Publican, John Meade of The St. James’ Gate Publick House who so graciously welcomed each of our guests with first round on the house.
