What Does It Mean to be Irish?

This Saturday, The Threepenny Opry at The Starlite Lounge presents Terry Griffith and Jim Hart at 9:00 pm followed by an open song-swap.

Come to sing, come to play, come to listen and enjoy.

Jim Hart has great, hook-laden tunes with spirit and gusto.

Terry Griffith 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 published monthly and mailed to 1500 subscribers as well as being available on line through the IAUC web site.
