| Native of Wheeling,
WV, Terry Griffith has been living in Pittsburgh, Pa. Since 1973. Along with Jan,
his wife of 34 years, he is involved with all things Irish in Pittsburgh. Their production company, Captain Moonlight Productions,
has produced many projects including recordings, stage productions, special events,
graphics design and web sites including the "Pittsburgh Irish Network" www.pittsburghirish.org.
It contains a web page for AOH divisions of Pittsburgh, other Irish organizations,
Irish pubs, Irish entertainers, Irish import stores and the Pittsburgh St. Patrick's
Day Parade. Terry has been performing
Irish ballads in local Irish pubs as well as performances at Irish festivals and
fundraisers all over the U.S. for the last 20 years and has been a working musician
for the last 35 years. His music reflects
his Irish heritage and appeals to the Irish-Americans
who look beyond the stereotypical to the true essence of being Irish.
His
work with Irish organizations and the Pittsburgh St. Patrick's Day Parade committee
earned him the honor of Grand Marshall
for the parade in 1999. He is currently the chairman of the Marching Bands Committee
for the parade and also does PR for the parade as well as for many Irish events
in Pittsburgh.
He is a former Editor of
the Irish American Unity Conference Newsletter

line through the IAUC web site.
