He’s the face behind some of Cork’s most popular bars, but for many years Michael Droney lived a half-life of alcohol and drug addiction.

Now, the owner of Crawford & Co, Aye and Osho and the late lamented Rosie Maddison’s is hosting an exhibition in one of his spaces to chart his journey to sobriety, as reported by Liz Dunphy in the Irish Examiner.

Michael Droney is the guest on today’s episode of The Deirdre O’Shaughnessy Podcast.
