A big feature of our recent trip to New York alongside the Timahoe Male Choir was meeting two Laois publicans who are based in the iconic US city.
Shane Buggy from Crettyard is living in New York for almost 20 years and works in McSorley’s Old Irish Ale House, the oldest Irish bar in New York.
He also has an interest in a couple of other bars in the city but retains a strong connection with home.
He tells us his story, the amazing history behind McSorley’s and how he has set up a GAA club close to where he lives in New Jersey.
You can listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or on the links below.
