Mike Hanrahan: from Stockton’s Wing to Ballymaloe and beyond

One of my former Ballymaloe classmates, Mike Hanrahan, a great cook and a seriously talented musician (ex Stockton’s Wing) was featured in the Irish Times earlier this week. Not only did we get to appreciate his food in the kitchens (and wit in the classroom!), but Sunday nights in the Blackbird was one of the high points of the week, Mike playing at the regular sessions and ensuring that the pub was always packed with students.

Read the piece here, try his food at P. McCormack & Sons bar and restaurant on the Mounttown Road in Dun Laoghaire, and keep updated on his unmissable gigs through mikehanrahan.com.
