    The barn is too raw/unfinished looking for my liking, I love the BBQ though.

    A hashtag would suit the show as well. Would not take much to get threading, and would be good for the show and the venue.

    Ballinasloe next week !
    Hoteliers John and Francis Brennan head to Hayden's Hotel, Ballinasloe, Co Galway, which was taken on in 2008 by three brothers who had no previous experience in the industry. The continuing recession has thwarted their plans for developing the business and harmed the establishment's reputation for staging first-class wedding receptions. The commercial masterminds aim to help the owners combat a lack of experience and knock the enterprise into shape

    "three brothers who had no previous experience in the industry". And in the middle of a recession.

    Ah lads, you don't need to be Francis or John Brennan to know that there were going to be problems there.

    I used to know that Hayden's hotel long ago when it was a family-owned and run business. At that time, they depended a lot on custom from neighboring Athlone town. Taking it on would be quite a challenge in the present economic climate. Good luck to Francis and John!

    In case you missed it, John and Francis were on The Late Late Show tonight.

    They were the first guests, if you want to catch it on the RTE Player. Well worth a look.

    "We were always builders"

    Not a good start. Running a Hotel is very different to knocking up houses.

    John straight to the point as usual.

    Family businesses where no-one is in control, it very rarely works. Someone needs to be in charge.

    They need someone else to take charge of the Weddings, the brothers seem like decent men but they wouldn't strike me as great designers or planners.
